Bridget writes about her photo: This is a composite of two separate images. The subject was taken at the beginning of September 2022 while on a shoot in Arizona, and the mirror was taken at the end of September 2022 at my home. I use a Nikon Z6 to capture my images. The subject image was taken with a 50mm lens and the mirror was taken using a 24-70mm lens. I then put the images together in Photoshop.
