The trick here is that the angle of the person doesn't matter: you just flip them horizontally. To make the mirror work, make the reflection cut off bu the frame (which is the first visual clue). Then I'd suggest making a new pale grey-blue layer, again within the confines of the frame, at a very low opacity to knock some of the saturation out of the original. Have a go, post the result here and we can take a look. Steve |

Well, this is a really tricky one. To reflect an image at this angle really means having another photograph where we can see the model's face - and you probably don't have that. The only way to make a reflection by flipping it would be to have the woman in profile. I don't think there's any way you can make it work convincingly with this image. |

I agree with you but my main concern was the glass (mirror) I still feel that it's missing something |

I think you'll find the problem with the mirror is all to do with the reflection! |
