Tv, the camera (with remote) is the left black blob (which is what made me have to have shallow DOF... I held the flag behind the camera so the camera wouldn't be as noticeable. I promise you that if I had PPd this, the first thing to go would be the signs of my poor housekeeping (the mirror spots) ... well, and then the yellow. *grin* ~Lydia

OK. You aren't the only one in this challenge making up your own theme because there isn't one (I tried but got distracted, as usual and then gave up. Oh well.)
I like this a lot!

Thanks, Cat.

John, it's a mirrored lightswitch plate set within a mirror. The mirror has a bevelled edge mirror surrounding its edge. Make sense now? ~Lydia

Interesting. It never occurred that this was a reflection. I thought it was clear and you put a flag in the background. Now I see that you have switches that make the prior impossible. I think I was fooled because of the reflection continuing even outside the frame on the right. Nice touch. John

Great eye Lydia! I don't like the tilt in most cases, but I like it here, as it becomes pretty ordinary if you straighten it up. There should be a reason for tilting, and you have one here. Patriotic theme works well as a reflection too!

Yes, very patriotic Lydia and well done! This would look great with a little PP to clean up the spots and bring out the colors a bit more but looks good like this too! :-) CJ

Yeah... It PPs up prettily without the yellow. *grin* ~Lydia

Not really?? lol - I have you under suspicion for building up an entire The Great American Patriot's Gallery out there lol :D Love the reflection and shallow DOF here, nice composition. Wee bit on the yellow side but I have a problem with yellow.
