This promises to be a very difficult final vote since all the pictures that made it this far are outstanding.

Please vote for the picture that best represents our theme, which is a reflection of an image.

1. Chi Meson

Fi's and Shramana's look so similar, in a way, don't they? They could be part of the same exhibition.
 
I love mountains, and I also love cityscapes... How to decide between Chi and shramana?

EDIT: On second thought...(or is it third thought?)... I think I'm going to go with larkspur. While I do love the pictures from Chi and Shramana, I think larkspur's has the best and most aesthetic reflection.

It might have been a little more interesting for these photos to be presented rotated by 180 degrees.
 
when I think about a moment of reflection (contemplation, as the idea of reflection), the place where fi's photo was taken is where I would want to be sitting

I'm flattered, though I don't think Fi would be :wink:
 
Chi Meson, I've been meaning to ask, do you live in the Southwest, more specifically New Mexico. And as of the photo, is that Blanca peak?

Currently, I live in the Northeast (that's New Hampshire in my Avitar: Mt. Cardigan). It's the Tetons in the photo, taken in 1990; I was atop the summit the day before. Through the 80s and 90s I traveled a lot, climbing everything except society.
 
OK, thanks. I didn't think that it was Blanca peak (one of Colorado's 14ers) but it did look similar in that it just pops up outta the surrounding plain.

Of course I am flattered! I actually prefer your reflection, broken up a little.

That's "upside down" for the biologists among us! :biggrin:

It sure shows how close the flatlands are in front with the peaks near and behind

Wait a second!

Whoa! Chi Meson's is the best! I didn't notice what it was until like 30 minutes after I voted!

I know what it means, thanks! There goes your vote, buster!

Well, um...:rolleyes: actually, I am voting for you, just because you didn't do a "cliche" reflection like the others did. All were very pretty and well-executed though.

To be honest, mine is a bit "done" also.
