OK, I admit it, the title is just to encourage people to look further than the thumbnail, and it is nearly Silly Sunday after all.

I've got a bit of a thing about self portraits, always wary that they are a bit of an ego show, so having observed some interesting reflections in our bathroom, I decided to take a completely different approach to them. I used my compact for the lead photo, not wanting to risk the biggie, but the rest were taken with my Canon.

You will see from the tap shots that it is not wise to use the wrong kind of cleaning product on chrome, but it does give an interesting pattern I think.

Anyway, thanks for looking. Sorry if you are disappointed that they are not really saucy but trust me, you wouldn't enjoy saucy pictures of me!

Oh you shameless hussy! Vanity, thy name is woman.
Great set, I'm glad you included V4/9 (I think you may have got a bit carried away and uploaded some shots twice...) It shows a dangerously malevolent gleam in your eye.
I've tried three times already to post this comment, if multiple copies come up eventually you'll know why!

You wouldn't have thought a Bathroom could be so interesting, good series of images and each one is worthy of an upload on it's own.....

OK,I admit Lynne,I was a bit disappointed for the lack of saucyness here,but I did find V1 rather spicey !!
However,furthur disappointment ensued,as try as I might,I see no reflections in the water !!
A rather clever set.
Good ones.

V1 is a winner Lynne

The pattered reflections in the white tiles individually framed with the black grout look great.

I do like them all.

I’d choose V9 as it seems a little warmer than V4.

David

I say thats a little risque, showing an ankle like that could turn a chaps head......

Very interesting and inventive.

Wow...nice legs and presentation in V1, Lynne Smile

And I love how you've turned the everyday into the interesting...my favourite here (other than V1) being V6. Beautiful tones and I like how, in the reflection, it looks like you're wearing a cape which is flying backwards Smile

Excellent set for sure. V1 and V7 (my favourites) imho are well worth a mono conversion and some manipulation. Great work overall

Hi Lynne, thanks for the comment on my photo of the disused brickworks. I've been looking at your gallery, you've got some really good images there, you shoud be proud of them, how do you get such clear vibrant colours!! I have another account on Flickr which I set up before i knew about ephotozine, its got a lot more photos & I'm registered under the same name. I'm new to this so any constructive comments would be appreciated. Oh by the way Aqualisa are very good showers Grin
