I really like this shot...I find reflections interesting, as though we get some strange insight into the person. A personal favourite part is the tree, acting as a beard...he is clean shaven. I had a shot I knew would score higher than this, but am stuck submitting what I consider to be my favourite that month...my own test to see how my tastes co-ordinate with the world around me.

Curves, calculations, levels, curves, shadow/highlight, high pass, dodge and burn, cloned small bits, crop, neat image, added border, save for web.

Nice balls :) Sorry about your lack of co-ordination. But it makes you more fun to watch.

i got a chance to log on for a couple of minutes the other day in NZ and one of the few things i bothered to look at was who created this image.

Sorry posthumous, I really like this shot...snot and all!! LOL. No really I do, I like the dreamy imaginitive quality of it, and the reflective memory inducing thing it has going on...maybe it's just me...

This is out of focus, and I can see reflections in the glass. Very distracting. Next time, take your model out from behind the glass and have him look directly into the camera. And where are the colors?

Wow, what a phenominal photo!!! I'm sure that you're getting some morons giving you critical comments on nit-picking technical aspects, but I can tell you that I really LOVE this refreshingly different and very "deep" shot! Unfortunately, it seems the "artsy" shots don't always do well in this site it seems. Nude models do well though! *grin, sigh* I really like this shot! Time to get away from flowers, babies and traditional style, technically "perfect" photography in here. 10 from me!

Very nicely seen and captured. Has a misty, dreamlike quality to it.

Such a beautifully captured moment. I love that you've allowed it to be imperfect, the dark space to the right, the soft focus, the grain - they are what make the photo work for me. Really cool.

It seems there a splatter of something on the glass. I would have chosen a cleaner part of the window.

Very artistic image. Nice to see some adventurous spirit here. Lovely work 9.

Very cool. I like his wistful expression. Is he looking through a window? Nice.

Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning.

This works really well - a lot of reflection shots don't. Composed perfectly. Tones well done. 8
