Shimano: Righty Tighty Lefty Loosey


The curious thing about this one is that the reflection isn't a simple copy-and-flip. The perspective is a little different, suggesting a different shot was used. Someone actually made an effort before goofing and rotating the image instead of flipping it.

Thanks to Idenwen.

It's more of an underneath shot than an in-front-of shot.

Actually, the reflection is correct. It is reflecting the bottom leg and the one over it properly. Think about what's closer to the surface beneath the man. The leg on the bottom, which the reflection rightly follows.

uh..it's not correct. the whole image was rotated. Turn your monitor over if you don't believe me

I would say it might not be a mistake because of the work involved, it might actually be an aesthetic thing, the lines making an X as it were

This really isn't wrong. The mirror image is under him, not in front of.

Look at the legs dudes. In the image it's the right leg in front of the left one, in the mirror the other way around. Clearly a PS error!

It's true, that's no reflection.

Also, I suspect that if there were a real mirror under this naked guy, you'd be able to see his 8-speed hub gears and disc brake.

instead of being flipped upside-down its been rotated 180 degrees
