Sunglasses

La Palma

My daughter was trying on my sunglasses while on holiday in La Palma and I saw a photo opportunity!

A special shot, as has already been noted. I think some of the attraction stems from the complementary colouring of frame and centre. Nigel

Mike, I find it incredible how much detail you have captured in this reflection. I love the idea of the tinted look we get, as the saying goes, through rose tinted glasses. Great photo.

A really clever shot! As has already been said there is a world within a world in this photo and surprisingly much to look at too. Lynne

looks great Mike,
must haveben difficult to ballance the exposure, the result is perfect, I like the somewhat overexposed area outside the glass. These is is quite red, you and the greens look quite yellow. Could the color tones be improoved?

So much detail in this shot, great colours and very clear - I like this.

A very nice two-layered picture. The tinted sunglasses create a world within a world, with quite a different atmosphere than the "real" world, yet richly detailed and perfectly exposed and sharp.

Have you tried peering over the camera just before you hit the shutter button?

BTW, my daughter just saw this picture over my shoulder - kudos from her, too!
