Many thanks for the wonderful response to yesterday's Ruby Red rose, and particularly to Lillian for her User Award SmileSmileSmileSmileSmileSmile

We've had the Dining Room painted at school over the holiday - so the working surface was cleared for the decorators.
I liked the reflections from the tap and windows, but the pipe was in the way. So v1 no pipe, v2 with pipe and more detail.
Which works best ?

Thanks for looking

Helen

V1 for me - it loses a reflection (behind the tap) but the proportions are much more attractive, particularly the placement of the top of the sink. I just love the way the vertical lines continue down into the reflection.

I was going to say that I prefer V1, Helen, but in V2 you have a double reflection of the tap, which is interesting. V1 is a nice clean version with stronger lines, though, so I think I'll stick with that one. You have a wonderful flair for making something very special out of something very ordinary!!!

Is the worktop reflecting the cupboards or are we looking through the surface of the worktop?. Of course our brain knows the answer but our eyes keep asking. A clever and intriguing image Helen.
I prefer the image without the distraction of the reflected window light so its V1 for me.

V1 as artistically more pleasing but V2 tells the whole story.
So as Ronnie would say 1/2 vote each!
