theme: REFLECTIONS
initial candidate for submission
actual submission
I thought I already had a passable entry in the morning with the first picture, but then I snapped the second image while I was looking around to replace my worn-out shoes.
The saturated colors of the former are more eye-catching, but the composition felt cliché, and there's a high chance of others doing something similar since we had puddles everywhere that morning.
In contrast to that, the second shot was more muted, but it featured a more transcient moment, and it's a better metaphorical representation of the theme with the music being a reflection of the artist.

In-camera edits were allowed, and a lot of heavy lifting was done there given the sensitivity of exposing for a subject reflected on a smooth black surface.
I think there was also a restriction about visible brands, but I couldn't crop out "YAMAHA" without sacrificing the main subject so I just cut out the first 3 letters to leave "AHA".
