So if this is a mirror, why is the word "LENS" and "24-70mm" not spelled backwards? How did you do that?

Haven't we seen her before? This is a really nice shot.

Very very nice. Great detil and one of the most creative looks in the challenge. Expect this to do real well. Bumping up.

Very nice idea, and a gorgeous photograph. I'm not sure that the blurred frame of the mirror is a desirable feature, however. Still, it's far more interesting than the majority of shots in this challenge, and there's a glossy feel - and the tightness and cleanness of the focus and tone stands out a mile. Good job!

 08/21/2006 03:07:16 AM
very good effort and effect
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/20/2006 02:10:53 PM
Very creative....there's that lovely face again. Love that you used B&W for this.

Less camera, more babe. J/K, nice shot. Like the BW and the clever composition. nicely done.

very different and "eye" catching
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/18/2006 07:33:37 AM
what a great picture!! I love how the unvailed face of the girl makes me wonder what she looks like. love it:)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/17/2006 09:36:16 PM
Great idea but, for me, the main subject should be the camera. I feel there should have been more of the camera visible.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/17/2006 09:12:55 PM
Like this a lot, very unique in the challenge! Good choice with the B/W. 10

Beautiful! So creative and crisp. Excellent B&W. Back to give you a bump to 9. Nice work. Blue IMO.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/16/2006 03:44:10 PM
Good focus, but the photo seems too busy for me. I think, for this challenge, the camera should be the subject.

great shot ... very well done ... wish I could see a bit more of the camera ... 8

i can't quite figure out how you did this, but it's one of the best ones here!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/16/2006 07:32:23 AM
excellent! exposure is spot-on, DOF is perfect. highly creative approach to the challenge - 10
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/16/2006 06:51:56 AM
Easily a ribboner for me - Probably the blue!
Lovely contrast and tonal range.
Technically a good shot too to have the girl at the same focal distance as the reflection of your camera. Maybe more of the camera would have fulfilled the challenge a bit better, but I'm not going to penalise you for that!

A 10 from me.
