This image was taken in my bedroom with the only light sources coming from one on camera candle, and one off. I'm laying on my carpet, with the camera pointed at the mirror.
PS Editing includes Levels adjustment, some Curves adjustment, and sharpening filter.

I really like the mood of this image. The lighting and the grain really enhance the theme created by the title. The composition gives it an earie type mood. The single eye gazing into the mirror is quite captivating.
It's a bit noisy. Thats what unfortunetely happens when you shoot in dark situation. Would like to see this without the noise and it would be a very nice image....maybe in black&white or sepia?
i guess you were going for the grainy look and feel...i see that it is a reflection using existing light from the candle. however, for me, the excessive graininess makes it hard to look at. i'd probably find it more interesting if your face wasn't hidden by the camera. that really is the challenge: how to capture what we see without the camera getting in the way...
The over abundance of grain has ruined what could have been a fine photograph. It appears that you have a Canon DSLR, which shouldn’t allow for such grain even at high ISO. Try taking the shot again and adjust some of the settings (ie ISO 200, 1/10 shutter speed, tripod to stabilize camera, etc) Also try using a flash, it will black out the entire mirror except for the reflection.
