Hi Bob,

Excellent use of the mirror. Right moment with the girls expressions. 

One of the things I always watched for on assignment along the nature of
what you've shown or shooting interiors, is "a mirror." Because a mirror can
open up the size of a room or location and it allows double use of the
subjects or light.

The only un-holy thing about a mirror is, not paying attention in the
viewfinder to what's in the mirror! :-( Only to find out later when you
can't re-shoot, "the photographer is as large as life" reflected toward
camera. :-(

I particularly like the use of B&W in this type of situation simply because,
the dresses are usually so colourful the colour overpowers the main
subjects. "the girls and expressions."

Good on you.
