This example uses reflection to show aspects of other formal elements. The umbrella is shown with the light from the sun shining through, adding vibrant colours to the picture and is being shown reflected in the puddle. The angle of the reflection also adds to the depth of the image as it is changing the appearance of the man by making him seem taller.

This image is a simple form of reflection. I like this example because it highlights one of the many ways that you can express points and ideas through formal elements such as reflection. This adds more depth to the picture and makes it more interesting overall.

This image shows how reflection can really alter the appearance if objects and people. The light in the water is refracting the light which is causing the image to seem disjointed. This technique shows us another example of how you can adjust represent an image in multiple ways through reflection

This image is my favourite out of the selection. It shows another way that reflection can be used to make a photo even more interesting. The mirror is angled towards the camera in a certain way that makes the girl seem invisible in parts. The backgrounds are perfectly lined up, adding to the illusion of the photo.
