 Obviously its not a mirror, but an empty picture frame. It was difficult to find a suitable place to hang it. The camera in my hand is may old film camera. My digital one is on a stand. I used bouncing flash.

Interesting choice of framing. Funny idea. You could have come up with a more lively expression!

Nice idea but the background is kind of busy and therefore distracting to me.

I really like this concept of this shot (which I am guessing rather than being a mirror is a print that you have stuck in a frame). Two minor points which detract a touch from it is the fact that the frame is not straight on the wall (gee I know that sounds really nitpicking but it does have a strange impact on the shot) and also that there seems to be (on my monitor) quite a bit of blow out over the top of the frame

Interesting shot! But what is closing? A lens cap doesn't move or close. Its either on or off. (?)

Took me a few seconds to figure this one out. Nice idea. This shot might be stronger without the toys in the background. It would make the shot nice and simple.

Clever. I'm guessing you stuck the lens cap to the mirror.

Nice picture. Had you been closing (as in 'the act of') the lens...
