Reflections

Reflections in surfaces such as water, mirror glass, windows and metallic objects are sometimes recorded by photographers and filmmakers to create distorted images or to frame a view. Lee Friedlander has photographed images reflected in the wing mirrors of cars and shop windows. Naoya Hatakeyama used reflections on water to explore views of Tokyo in his 'River Series'. Images containing reflections have also been used as the basis for GIF animations and film loops.

I'm not 100% sure about this but it could be worked in a way that could be really interesting. I do really like how this allows the colour to stand out. Its unusual.
