 My daughter, looking into a mirror while looking into a mirror.

In post I adjusted levels, colors, and curves, did some burning and dodging, and cloned out a few distractions.

Thanks to all of you for your helpful comments! And thanks especially to those of you who referred to my 10-year-old daughter as "the model" and "a teenager." She got really excited about that. :-)

You are a week late for threes! :) Great idea and execution. Like the use of multiple mirrors. Kudos to your model who probably had to spend a bit of time standing around while you got the right angle. :) 9

well set up and captured. I even like the lense flare on the handmirror with the face.

Nice and simple, yet very imaginative. Just to be nit-picky, I think showing more or less of the back of her head would have been better, that little bit of collar is kind'a distracting. Also, if you ever get a chance to set this up in a room with dark walls, her face would really stand out. 8

Great idea; very well done. The little sparkle on the mirror adds just the right zing to make this a super picture.

Very, very nice capture. Original idea and fits the challenge to a "T". Congrats on a great shot.

Very clever, and very well done (the photography is very good, but getting a teenager to help you is perhaps even more impressive.) The lighting is perfect, the model has a great expression, and the DOF is excellent. Apparently, this needs a 10 from me.

This is interesting, The door is a little distracting, but I like the idea.

I like the shot, especially in the hand held mirror itself. This would have been my #1 choice (so far, anyway) if you had just captured the face in the mirror, against a white wall, and cropped out her head. That would have been very dynamic I think, just having the mirror and her face. It works as is, but I find the head and main reflection distracting from the great clarity and expression you captured in the mirror.
