Shot with 2 Alien Bee 400's using a Split Beam method. One Alien Bee at the boy with 10 degree diffuser, another at myself. Shot through pane of glass 45 degrees to lens with my sons reflection on it.
Edited to a sepia grunge/gothic look and lots of contrast.

Robbed! This is just a hell of an image. One of my top picks. Probably would have fared better if the processing in the fore figure were not so edgy, but I like it that way personally.
A truely interesting photo. The boys eyes are a little over brightened and there's something going on in the right side into your shoulder that I can't figure out which is distracting ,but overall a very unique and creative entry.7
I really like what's going on in this photo with you in front of the photo of the boy. I also like the tones but I feel as if the processing has gone a little too far on this.
