Very cool image - really creative!

The shot was done using 2 identical mirrors set at an angle of around 50'.
I then hung an apple from a fishing line in the centre of the shot. The fishing line
was almost invisible and only required minimal cloning out to give the floating effect.. I tried a number of shots with and without a flash. This one was the better one as the flash reflection is also multiplied by the mirrors onto each apple.

What a wonderful visual effect you achieved with your apple and mirrors. I love the symmetry, color contrast, and reflections here. The catch lights on the apples are a great touch as well. Good idea...well executed and taken. Nice one, ric. Could you please explain again how you did this? MFC

Now it's stuck in my head, too! :-D Awesome shot. The floating effect is just wild (Photoshop, I presume? I can't figure it out otherwise) and I love the arcing circle of apples. Perfect for the challenge.

I don't forget fantastic shots like this Ric. I liked it back in challenge 58 and it still blows my mind today. Thanks for sharing it once again!
