Reflection & Shadow...

I find that most reflective surfaces such as mirrors, metal, windows and water can transform something fairly simple and effortless into something imaginative and dreamlike..

.. Shadow creates somewhat of a mystery or the unknown. Similar to reflective; it's sort of the dark equivalent..
