 A window is a reflective surface...but I didn't want to do a regular-old reflection shot. I'm sure this is a 3.9 in the making but I love it. I've always wanted to do something like this with the boys.

The concept is that one is always outside looking in, or inside looking out, at themselves and how they relate to life. Since the two are practically twins, I thought I'd use them both to "reflect" each other looking in from the opposite direction in their worlds.

This was the only 10 I gave in this challenge (I only voted for a subset of images, though). I am not surprised your shot did so poorly, though.

A chimera, in this case, is NOT referring to a fish. Google it. Watch the Discovery Channel special called "I Am My Own Twin." Broaden your horizons, folks.

You gotta love that blank creepy horror-movie stare that fits the grainy processing perfectly. Utterly cinematic, and I'm talking about a really good movie. 9

Is this a reflection? It looks like two boys. The shot is pretty noisy, interesting nevertheless.

Intriguing; definitely of classic photographic merit.

What does the title mean? I think a Chimera is a type of fish.

Is this a reflection? it looks like two different people to me.

Maybe is my ignorance, but I just didn't understand how the title relates to the image...
