You should have cropped down to the lower half of this picture. The reflection is too insignificant.

I think I would just have included the bottom part of the picture. Just Silent Bob, and forget about the rest of the figures.

I love the idea used at the bottom of the photo - the toy holding the CD and using it as a mirror. I don't like the rest of the image and feel it just detracts. I'd like to see this done with a plain background, perhaps cream cloth or something, with the lower right subject matter as the whole thing.

really busy/ cluttered shot

Generally I'm not very fond of staged pictures of toys. It meets the challenge so I'm comfortable giving it a 5. sjgleah

Cool!

The only reason it's not a 1 is silent Bob

I really like the subject and the "reflection" came as a fun shock. Love the expression on his face which I don't think would be as noticible in a straight on shot.

Creative, but a little cluttered for me. The things on the desktop seem to distract from your reflection.

It might have been more effective to concentrate on the disk and the figure. For me, the items above and so much of the furniture showing distracts. Closer cropping or a closer shot might help with this.

lol, um.. if you had left the other stuff out and only had the guy and the CD it would have been better... and don't use flash.

Nice effort, but the strong, harsh light from the right side cast strong hard shadows, glared off spots i don't think you wanted hi-highted, and washed out all detail from the pez despensor. Also, it looks like the focus of your shot was the reflection in the CD... Why include all the other stuff? Do you feel the speaker added to the shot? If not, it shouldn't be there... The same goes for each object there...
Practice makes perfect :) Keep on shooting!

I really like the idea and creativity of the CD and guy in the foreground. I feel that the dresser top detracts rather than adds to him though. So does the glare on the dresser. Did you try to crop down to just have him in the shot? DPz

Hee hee, fun shot. Love the purple guy, but he is a bit spooky. Nice job. Score 7 Justine
