Jonas Sheck’s image certainly fulfils the brief of this competition on ‘reflections’ but it also brings several additional elements that make this a truly engaging image.

At first glance the scene looks like an ordinary view, until your perceptions are double checked by half of a missing bicycle wheel. Upon further inspection you realise that you are looking at a reflection in the side of a building that is mirroring part of another scene that is out of view.

Initially your brain tries to understand the reflection of the group of people as being the same group in the main view, only to realise this is another trick of the composition. All in all the image becomes extremely engaging with elements looking as if they were part of the natural scene such as the hills, lake, grass, path and paving slabs whilst others make you question the validity of what is presented.
