21 Brilliant Reflection Photos From the Mashable Community

Reflections are all around us. Outside Mashable HQ here in New York City, we are in the midst of a rainstorm. When you gaze into the puddles near 23rd Street from just the right angle, you can see reflections of the Flatiron Building or the Met Life Tower.

For the Mashable Photo Challenge this week, we asked you to send us photos of the reflections around you. Using reflections in photography is a simple, yet effective tool. As Mashable reader Jonny Luis told us, ?I like reflections because they are able to give any subject, as big as the Golden Gate Bridge or as small as a flower, a human-like quality by allowing the viewer to admire the object?s beauty and power, regardless of its size.?

Over the course of the past week, we were excited to receive your photos of both physical and metaphorical reflections. Our community found reflections in nature, architecture and the people around them.

Check out these reflection photos from the Mashable community, and get ready for next week?s photo challenge: action shots.
