Hey everyone, apologies for the lack of updates. University got super busy leaving me with little time to do anything, hence the quiet. So here's something funny from a while back. Between work on the ammonite piece I made this little thing, to jokingly comment on a  pet peeve of mine in photography and paintings alike. Photos/paintings of animals looking at the surface of the water or ice titled "Who's that pretty [insert species]?" or "Looking in the mirror" etc etc always irk me a little because, well...  reflections are hardly ever where they appear to be for an onlooker ;) 

Just try 'looking in the mirror' next time you're near a pond or going for a swim. You'll see that ambient lighting or Snell's window will screw you over real soon.
