Shot from just below the hip on a small and inconspicious NEX5. I like the lady on the sofa in this shopping centre while she sat and rested and the shape she makes on the sofa. The reflection was a bonus and allows me to keep her not so tight to the edge on the left. Hope you like it and comments would be great. Thanks

In most cases, the actual subject will be distracted from its so-called "reflection". The present one is acceptable, with the reflecting image in a weightless situation. Focus, exposure, and composition are handled well. Good job.

Excellent picture of life. Colors and strong lines add nicely to the woman's pose and expression, and the reflection creates an interesting balance. Her shoes set everything else off well, and add an important further picture of real life - very well composed street photography in the end, which seems almost an oxymoron, but works extremely well here. The only recommendation to consider would be to slightly darken the reflected lights, perhaps even cloning out the single light above and to the left of the woman's reflection. Kevin
