6th - A Magical Eve
by MFC
Please view "original".

When the setting sun casts a fiery glow to herald the night before Christmas,
reindeer will drink from a "magical" puddle of melted snow... and then they will fly ! :)


Best viewed in "original" due to compression artifact.

A small acrylic reindeer figure was placed on a mirror in a drinking position.
Miniature green ornaments were placed around on the mirror. One halogen desk lamp
was used to reflect light off a piece of red poster board held above the mirror.
The "reflection" part of the image was selected; and then a ripple distortion filter was applied.

I mean this with all due respect... "I HATE YOU!" lol I hope I can someday "conceive" my images the way you, Fremiet, and Mark do. I can see images in everyday life, but I don't have the creative thought to make my images as much as I want to. 2003 - that's another goal... Great job, Mike. Jim/Shutter
