Boris,

Sorry, in a rush of a loaded day I forgot to give a proper credit to
your response. Your answer deserves an honorable mention.
It was first and correct but incomplete. Bob's described where 
(and from what) the reflections were.

Well, it is not only the raspberry that doesn't exist any more:
The palm (the white one, on top of the raspberry, - see the other 
picture from another thread) is gone as well.
:-)

Fun question Igor.
We usually don't notice the weaker reflection from the 2nd surface of the glass.
Only a front silvered mirror gets around the problem.
By the way, the shot you post here is great with the dark background!

Yep, Bob is correct.
I would have offered the photo-model as a prize, but it wouldn't
survive. :-)

This is how the shot is(was) intended:
http://www.komkon.org/~igor/PHOTOS/Raspberries/IMGP9655e.jpg
Then I noticed the extra reflection and was puzzled at first, figuring
out where it came from. The I realized that the 2nd reflection was
from the 2nd (bottom) surface of the glass (it was our kitchen table
with a black glass top).  It was possible to see it because
the camera was sitting very low and almost horizontally.
To enhance the confusion I used "Fill Light" to brighten the darker
part.

Thanks to everybody for looking and playing along!

I agree. I was trying to think how it had a double  reflection and that would 
be how.

Impossible reflections -- photo-puzzle (raspberries again)

2007-11-09 Thread Igor Roshchin

While sorting out photos of raspberries (see the other message I just sent)
for a few moments, I was really puzzled by one of the photos.

So, let me offer you this photo-puzzle.

Here is a photo:
http://www.komkon.org/~igor/PHOTOS/Mixed-2005-2007/IMGP9655-2.jpg

I didn't do any pixel movement, cloning, adding or removing features.
I only changed brightness, saturation, sharpness, and cropped 
it a bit (~5%).
To make it absolutely clear, I didn't even remove any dust spots.

How many berries are in the photo?
(Where is(are) the berry(ies) and where is the reflection?)
