Self-portrait with mirror



Could I please get some thoughts and critique on this?

Hey Blue,

Now this is interesting, I love the idea seen similar before but you've put a new twist to it (body angled and mirror raised).
For me the lighting looks a little harsh on your right arm and you've cut your elbow off, but apart from that I think it's great.

Thanks Mike. I was kind of waiting to see if anyone would mention the elbow.. it's bothering me, too, and the light- you are right. I had exactly the same thoughts. Think I'll try and re-shoot this to get it perfect. Cool

and when you do, well it should be a cracker, as I love the whole concept of it

It's well worth doing again as it'll be a cracking shot. Look forward to seeing the results.

I like the whole concept of this picture, agree with the elbow crit, but I like high contrast B&W pics and so like this one. The arm is overdone, but I'd only like to see it brought back a bit as I really like this stuff.
