This is me. I hope I'm not the wicked stepmother type! It took me almost all night to take this picture, it was almost impossible to take it without having the camera show in the mirror.

Nice one. My only criticism (& its a minor one) is the candle on the right is blocking part of the frame holding it, that the left candle isn't. Otherwise a perfectly balanced photograph. The effect in the mirror glass is very fitting to your composition.
I gave this one my only 10 for this challenge. The idea was simple enough, but wonderfully executed. In hindsight, I wonder if adding more color to the reflection in the mirror would give this one a little more pizzaz, but as is, I still think it shoujld get a ribbon. Good luck.
This is a great idea. I imagine the ripple effect was photoshopped? I don't know enough about the rules to know if this'll put your photo in danger of DQ, but regardless, I really like the idea and execution of this. The lighting is very nice.
