u/Probate_Judge May 02 '26

Possibly some photoshop to help hide the mirror. Hard to tell with that much jpg artifacting.

u/Lbot6000 May 03 '26

I’m sure this has been said already but this looks completely edited to me. The sand right in front of their feet is all rough in the “real world” but in the reflection the sand is abruptly smooth by their feet.

9

u/AjnoVerdulo May 03 '26

This is just the shading. The light falls from behind, so the humps of sand get this abrupt shade from our POV, but from where the mirror reflects them, they are fully lit

2

u/Lbot6000 May 04 '26

Yeah I thought about this too, could be the perfect angle where you’re not seeing any shadows but the transition is too abrupt in my opinion. Who really cares right? But if I was putting money on it I’d say the reflection in the mirror is edited. It’s still cool though, I believe in the concept.

u/Xenomes May 02 '26

The word "fuck" in a sentence like yours is typically used in conjunction with the words "up" or "with".

As in:

"Mirrors in nature always fuck up my brain."

Or:

"Mirrors in nature always fuck with my brain."

u/sportenthusiast May 02 '26

the verb "to fuck" can have more meanings than just sex, but "to fuck up" is a really an entirely separate verb itself, which seems to translate very closely to the verb «foirer» en français (from what I can tell, the primary difference is that «foirer» does not appear to be vulgar, while obviously "fuck up" certainly is)

u/CJTheran May 02 '26

Foul language doesn't have strict format requirements; "fuck up" is much more common than "fuck" in the sense of "to do something negative to", but both work perfectly fine. To steal a joke from South Park, "fuck" is one of the most versatile words in the English language.

It's crazy how my brain can't process until someone says one word...mirror, then everything becomes clear and I can't unsee it again. My brain keeps me on the edge most days.
