 thanks to my model sandra, she did a good job during that shooting, even though she had some trouble imitating the facial expression out of the movie. she always started laughing when she saw herself in the mirror. ;)
i wanted to shoot the scene when the two clones accidently reach the room where all the clones were produced, and she sees them and gives them that really shocked look.
too bad she was not a blonde like scarlett johansson from the movie, but i hope some of you will remember the scene anyway... ;-)

lit with my octa softbox and strobe in my parents' bedroom, where they have those lockers with mirrors. the white reflexion is from the softbox flash.

processing included heavy curves adjusts, selective color, color balance and channel mixer.

I gave this a 9, thought it should have finished higher, it has great cinematic quality

Christoph - This one of my absolute favorite photos from the Scene It II Challenge. I don't know the movie, I assume others were in the same position, and this probably cost you in votes. Even without knowing the movie, I gave you an 8 for quality of photography, vision, and delivery.

Hi from the Critique Club

Wow, was my first reaktion when this picture came up for the critique. This is a nice one and has scored probably very high.
I can say I was a bit disapointed when I saw that it just barely got a 6, in my mind it is worth more then that.
I like the acidic colors and it is a well done shot.
The only thing that could probably have it score higher is taking a scene out of a better known film. You have to hit those voters in the face with something they understand. Make it idiot proof.

All in all a very well executed photograph and for me you have been robbed, had to score much higher.

I am not familiar with this scene. It is very clean looking, and the separations and reflections are interesting. But not knowing exactly what you are trying to show it makes it difficult to understand.

I like the image. Not sure about the movie because I never have seen it. I will vote on merit of the photo. 8. Very nice expression and I like the processing on this image.
