This is an under-appreciated shot. Forget the worthless issue of whether or not it's too small - there may be a bit more detail visible at a larger scale, but the shot would be almost identical, and that detail wouldn't have added anything, at least in my opinion. I hope that your work gains a better following in the future.

LOL. :) Nice compo, there is a good flow trough the scene and the mirror finishes it off.

Nice shot and nice capture. Nice focus on the reflection. I like your b.w conversion.

Cool Shot, nice B&W!

I'm so in love with this photo. It took me a second to catch her reflection but once I did it was all over. Excellent lighting, focus and tones. Great shot! 9

Love the expression in this composition!!! A reflected surprise as you caught her looking in the mirror. The B&W was a nice choice for it heightens and calls greater attention to the focus of the shot - the expression of surprise. Had it been in color, it might have not had the same impact for the color may or may not have called attention away from the main focus. My only critique is that I wish she held the mirror out a tad more farther to get the full "O" surprise expression of her mouth in the frame of the mirror.

Love the focal point here and good choice on black & white conversion.
I think this would have had more impact had you used the full 720 pixels instead of 590.

this is very weird to me. i was sure it was a child until i saw the reflection which is obviously that of an adult. very confusing to me. but beautifully sharp and great contrast.

Well executed photo with perfect focus point.

lost in the small formatt

this is stunning, but I have one question...why did you save it so small? you had 720 pixels to play with...would have been a winner otherwise
