Oh me, this is the hard part... OK, how about "Reflections"

I'd much prefer this to be a democratic process. If anybody has some good ideas, toss 'em out there for discussion.

are you going to specify what definition of Reflections you want...
I personally like the challenge of #4 a thought occurring in consideration or mediation and what represents this.....no I have no preconceived idea of what to shoot for this one...it would be a challenge! or #8 or #9
1. the act of reflecting or the state of being reflected.

2. an image; representation; counterpart.

3. a fixing of the thoughts on something; careful consideration.

4. a thought occurring in consideration or meditation.

5. an unfavorable remark or observation.

6. the casting of some imputation or reproach.

7. Physics, Optics . a. the return of light, heat, sound, etc., after striking a surface.

b. something so reflected, as heat or especially light.



8. Mathematics . a. (in a plane) the replacement of each point on one side of a line by the point symmetrically placed on the other side of the line.

b. (in space) the replacement of each point on one side of a plane by the symmetric point on the other side of the plane.



9. Anatomy . the bending or folding back of a part upon itself.

Good question... I guess my preference would be any of the above. I think it was MtnSurfer who pointed out in one of the previous months that some of the most creative work showed up when the theme was open ended. I thought that was a very good observation. I'm in favor of the photographer using any definition of "reflections", and he/she can always include their specific definition if it helps to define their photo. Does that work?

"Reflections" sounds good to me. A real short definition or no definition would be OK. Let the photographer decide. Let the viewers vote...

It's up to you PawleysDude...

Reflections: Isn't that a Diana Ross song?

Actually, I do try hard to forget most of the generic girl-group music of the 60's. My time, but not my music...
