    For those pursuing ever-increasing resolution or just focusing on the eye (as many do) this horror story might give pause for thought:

    Wow Peter! Good job the street sign and house number aren't in the reflection!

    Or, in these ever-intrusive days, I hope that there isn't a robot that compares buildings with Google street views and harvests your address!! I bet the NSA or MI6 has one ...

    As I do all of my model shoots either in the studio or "on location", I will never have this problem.

    I had a patio chair cover stolen shortly afterwards though. I am sure someone found it from the reflection !!!!!!!

    Although it's quite possible to extract detailed images from a reflection, the story seems a bit too sterile to be totally true. While the story on dpreview is vague, the linked article provides additional clues:
    1. hi-res smartphone
    2. Used Google street-view to pinpoint her station, other social media images to recognize her house.
    3. and finally, for a supposed fanatic he only groped her and pulled her down, they stated he injured her but nothing specific.

    The story rings more like a public service announcement and possibly a marketing tool for the various tools and services.
