I feel like there's something familiar about this beautiful girl.
Neat how her reflection gives the viewer a better idea of her shape, sort of plants a 3D image in your mind when you combine them.

Interesting how the reflection connects to stereo vision which then connects to 3D. Good observation!

Compared to the closer cropped B&W, I don't know.
The B&W is more intense, this one is a great reflection.
I think they are both great.

SeverinR, both images contain the "essence" that is the magic here. It is the essence of a moment in time, shared with my friend and model Tammy, that will never come back. The way the natural window light shimmers in her eye, the way the mirror added a little something, her inscrutable expression, whatever thoughts she was having at that instant, the way her hair fell just right. All one-time things that will never come together just like that again as the Universe charges inexorably forward and away from this special moment. That is one thing I love about photography; it captures a precious moment in time or interaction with an amazing person, and keeps it; allows me to share it with thousands of people who were not there. It's a truly magic medium.

That is exactly why I like both.
Great job.

You know, she looks almost tied up, which is odd because you got some slack about the ball gag. ironic. That was great too!

I was about to say that I've never ever tied-up Tammy, but then I remembered that in previous photo shoots I have handcuffed her and hung her from a noose... well in fact she hung herself. Gee, that all sounds bad, but I think those were bonding experiences for us

LOL! Too much! But i do remember that you disabled the comments on that ball gag (is that what its called?) photo and I'm like, "so what is the big deal?"
Some people!

It's humorous that you see Tammy as tied-up here; must be conditioning based on some of my other images. Actually, in this one I think her hands were busy simply holding up the heavy mirror

You know, the FAVs do agree with you, and I chose it for the first- so you know I like it a lot. But, I really like the fourth one just as much, which is why I ended with it.

My first thought was to use the mirror just as a reflector to provide secondary light from below, but of course that reflection was too pretty to not include it in the shot.

Yes, Tammy does have a very young look, such nice skin. she's in her 20s, but looks like a teenager in many shots.
