I love the second one - the reflection against the sepia is wonderful! I finally figured out how to do this! I haven't worked with layers much, so I missed a step. What fun!

And your photo of the day is gorgeous.

The sepia really makes the reflection pop. You are good!

I really like what you did to the photo. You made it look surreal. Salvador Dali, watch out! A great photo to use.

Your hyacinth with bottle shadows is a really interesting take.

Oh, yes, the sepia wins hands down.

I "feel" like I'm looking a head to the future in that reflection. It feels like I'm standing in "ago" and seeing "now" in the future. Nicely done!

What a cool picture! I like the first one better, but Melli's right - that second one does have a real sense of looking into the future.

That last picture too is GORGEOUS.

I like the second sepia photo. It looks like a portal from past to present.

As to your picture a day -- I already post one photo per day on my photo blog, http://quillyscamera.wordpress.com/, and I have been doing now for 116 days.

You know, I always read the comments AFTER I post, because I don't like them to influence what I say, but sometimes I really think I should go ahead and read them first .... duh!

I love what you did with the sepia shot - the colorful reflection! Happy Sepia Scenes!

I can't wait til the hyacinth blooms!

I love reflections so I love them both but I adore the 2nd one!

the warmth of the sepia really sets off the window

I love the sepia one. It looks like that instead of a shop, there is a fairy tale world on the other side of the window. I almost does not look like a reflection. Cool!

I just love dropping by your blog. I'm NEVER disapointed!

Wow it's hard for me to decide. I love them both--the sepia and the 'blue'.

I'd love to join you for the daily photo, but I know I don't have the time to add ONE MORE THING to my schedule!

Your pictures are just getting better and better!

Really love your reflection shot, especially the contrast to the sepia. Well done!

Terrific!
The sepia really makes the reflection stand out - wonderful job.

I feel like I post a picture a day anyway. My blog didn't start that way but I don't think I could blog without pictures anymore.

I just love the effect that the sepia has on these shots. Really awesome.

The sepia makes the reflection pop out more. Beautiful!

I would have joined you earlier on, but I had a day there without any pictures. Start with the two of you tomorrow?

I like the changes you made! Great photo! Love your buds too.
