    Mirrors

    Stumbled upon this while walking at the World's End reserve south of Boston. Not certain quite how to shoot this or how to edit further what I have in this one. Any reactions would be welcome.

    PS: Given Nadakumar's comment that this is confusing: it's a sculpture made up of a spiral of narrow vertical mirrors with spaces in between, set in a partially wooded area on the edge of the water. So what you see in some places is the reflection of the surroundings.

    Interesting in a bizarre kind of way. If it is meant to confuse, it is definitely succeeding and you have captured that aspect quite well.

    If it is meant to confuse,
    To be frank, I didn't have any intent, other than to play around and see if I could capture some kind of interesting image from the sculpture.

    Looks like a fun place to shoot. I imagine slight shifts this way or that completely changes the composition based upon what is reflected.

    You said it wasn't your intention to confuse, but playing tricks on the brain is what makes this so much fun. Having less sky and more reflective surfaces would make it even harder to tell what is "real" and what is a reflection.
