Critique Club feedback -

This is so unnatural looking as to be jarring. Still, I do like the symmetry and I think a tighter crop would really show off this effect well. It is probably a love/hate sort of thing, so may as well crop it to give the mirror tiger all of the real estate. Beyond the reflecting - great lighting, perfect exposure and dead-on sharpness. Really good shot.

Why? This strikes me as using expert editing for the sake of it. You appear to have at least half of a perfectly good photo here, so why, why, do that to it. What is your purpose, your story, narrative?

Sorry - a little too bizarre for me.

That's just weird. The feet look like they are sticking out of his chest. Not sure what you were going for here.

Well first of all, great tones, contrast and colors. I think this shot is pretty cool but still, the extra paws kindof kills it for me personally, that and the pink thing that is to the side of the tigre. I just wish it was more subtly mirrored and that it would really take a few seconds to get that it was really mirrored and the paw and pink thingy kind of ruin that element of surprise. Gave a 7 as this is done extremely well technically.

It's like a freaky bizarre totem lol. Love the lighting and color tones. This is just so weird and funny at the same time.

Great detailed photo. Extra paws are weird, but interesting at the same time.

Interesting... Ive no Idea why you would do this, it makes his front paws look very odd

The paws throw me off...unnatural look which makes my brain hurt *ouch*...otherwise a very nice shot. Would love to see the original.

I'm giving you points for expert editing although the head looks a bit fat and unnatural.

Nice shot - Like the tones - Find the extra paws a little distracting as too are the red things - I presume this is a mirror image which is why it looks a little odd.

This has got to be the coolest looking mirror image I've ever seen. Looks like it's guarding hell or something. =D
