I like this shot a lot. But being somewhat anal, I have to wonder why the reflection of the cards isn't backwards. Do you have special cards that are printed backwards? Or have we always been misled here in the northern hemisphere about everything being upside-down down under, when they're really just mirror imaged?
Actually, many, many years ago I had the privilege to spend several months in your fair country, and enjoyed it immensely. Wonderful people, safe, and wide-open spaces.

Good luck with your entry!
All the best,

Thanks Rich and everyone else who commented. I wondered when someone would notice the non backwards cards. A straight reflection in the glasses lens would show the cards backward. However, if you sit in front of a mirror and take the shot then the mirror reflection will turn them around again. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know for sure that I had the top hand here. By the way, no self respecting gambler would use these reflective glasses anyway for fear of showing his cards to others!
Glad you enjoyed your stay down here Rich. i hope to visit British Columbia in the not too distant future and maybe take that train ride through the Rockies etc.
