Flat Lay - 52 Frames Week 18

This week's challenge for 52 Frames is "flat lay...take a shot of items or objects laid out on a flat surface from immediately above. Basically, a bird's-eye view of a set of objects that make up a cohesive whole." Not my favorite technique because of its overuse in food photography. Whoever said you eat first with your eyes was not very bright - you can have a wonderfully composed plate of food in front of you, but if your sense of smell is not working (ask anyone who has had covid), you will not taste a thing. I can smell a good restaurant long before I ever see their "plating". Give me a break - you eat first with your nose , as any biologist knows (pun intended). In any case, I accepted the challenge with a different goal in mind - create a flat lay mirror image without a mirror. Just some trickeration. And my beloved Lumix.
