This took some effort to setup. By tweaking in PS, I was able to completely blow out the background and most of the broken glass, making it look like there are only the few remaining pieces left that have the camera on them. I really like the effect so we'll see how the voters take it.

Very happy with my 11th place finish, but I think I'm more excited about this! Congratz on the ribbon, Sheila! :D

gave this a super juicy 10! can only imagine the fun you had setting this up, and it's such a dynamic example of what you can do with a mirror. i would suggest that you should have been brave enough to flip the image (which i'm sure at least 50% of the other comments say, so i wished i didn't) but it doesn't really detract. i think it's a great bit of abstract, and definitely one of my top 5.
OK, so I have seen enough mirrors, but wait, you did something cool here, I like this! Nice take on using a mirror. 7, because that's how many years of bad luck you are in for!
