So when should you use reflectivity?
When to use:

- They're also great for architectural and urban photography (think: glass buildings)
- but one of the best uses: art, fashion & drama.
❤️Extra Tip in Alt
When to avoid:
- MJ isn't yet great at complex mirrored images (start simple.
- I personally found artistic results to be great but you need to select "Stylize high"
- Avoid adding too many mirrors
- Avoid making the mirror surface too small (e.g. a knife)
❤️Tips in Alts
Practical example: scary drama
Why does it work so well here?
- reflections make the monster look real, its a subtle psychological trick
- reflections give emphasis & size of the monster adding to its 'scariness'
this pic gives me the creeps, but the next pic is better..
Practical example: Edgy & Current images
e.g.

Which leaves the best for last..
