Reflection photography

In the first photo I set down my cockatiel in front of my bathroom mirror in hopes she would pose for a picture and I wasn't disappointed. I feel like the lighting really did this photo justice adding to the feeling as if there were two instead of one.

For the photo with the hawk I was on a field trip to Granville island and there was a lady with her bird out. I took a few photos and thought the eyes would be perfect to have a reflection in, so I added in the hawk on another layer and made it into the reflection of the eye. I like the aspect of looking straight into the animals eyes and seeing a reflection of the subject itself. Though I wish that there was a more defined reflection in the eyes so I would improve on that factor next time.

For the horses in the water the reflection was not very strong so I edited it and made it sharper. I wish I could have gotten closer but I enjoy the photo in general. I took this photo in the Bahamas on a pink sand beach.
