Neat Image - noise reduction
Photoshop - crop, up the contrast a tad

i took these sat morn after waking up after a "rough" night ;) i think i was still a *little* bit tipsy...i just sat in front of a couple of huge mirror shards that i pulled off the sidewalk and shot away. this was by FAR the best shot...

the reflections are a bit rough. yeah, those are clothes on the floor, but welcome to the loft :)

the red dot in the left lens is one of my red velvet drapes (which is also the cause of the red tint in the bg)

the camera and glasses ARE the shot

Lighting: even and good.
Pose: The reflective glasses have got to go.
Background: works well with the skin tone.

Awesome composition! Great lighting. My only complaint is that I find trying to figure out what is in the reflections rather than looking at the overall shot. Was this a self portrait? Or is that the photographer in the reflection?

That's some serious-looking photography going on there ....

I would really like this one except for one thing...the reflections in the glasses seem to show clothing and miscellaneous equipment rather than something more visually appealing. Focus and detail are excellent, and I love the background. The reflections may be just a nitpick, but I would really like to see something more interesting or attention grabbing than laundry. Excellent attempt. :o)

This is pretty interesting all the way around. Glasses give just a hint of mystery with the lens reflection fitting the overall theme, camera gives a hint of context, and the crop, though very tight, doesn't hurt the overall image. A little more light on the right side might have improved this enough to move it from 8 to 9.

Unusual but effective composition. Exposure and focus right on. The reflection of the red light directly in front of the eye is distracting as is the bedpost and black object reflected in the glasses.

I like the compostiion and light, but the reflection in the sunglasses is a touch distracting. Is that a loose sock out there?

Nice pic, I like the cropping a lot.

very cool shot.

Very creative and asking a second look.

Portrait of a camera, or you?
Without the shades, it would be you.

I have "the other camera" and I am not realy crazy about the reflections in the sunglasses.
It's a good shot, it's in focus, it meets the challenge, lighting is good, idea is good, composition is good but now WOW factor here so I can only give you (6)

good luck

nice approach. I would have liked it better if the camera was completely out of the picture.
06/28/2004 02:42:15 PM
very creative, I like the "look" ... seems a little dark and maybe not enough depth of field + my attention is rawn to the red light on your eyeball.

Nice! Very original and nice composition.

Only negative comment I have is the reflection in the glasses. I think the tripod should of been moved to clean that up some. Over all I like this. Good entry.
