Reflections

I’ve been thinking about doing a blog post on reflections. But then I found myself wondering: should I show the subject that creates the reflection, or let the reflection stand entirely on its own?

Some photographs seem stronger when the original subject is included, giving the viewer a sense of place and context. Others become more intriguing when the subject disappears, leaving only the reflected image and inviting the viewer to pause and wonder.

And so, I find myself caught in my own little photographic debate. Until I make up my mind, I suppose I’ll have to include both—the subject and its reflection, and the reflection standing alone.
