This photo has not been edited... it is raw. I have only changed the resolution of the image to meet the requirements of the contest.
Purpose of the photo: To capture the narcissistic attitude of this character created in my photo.
Lighting setup: The lights in the room were shut off. I had the model shine an ordinary flashlight into the mirror and on himself to emphasize his self obsession.

Lots of vingetting(sp?), very grainy, glare from the flashlight is distracting, and I don't really understand why this is in the "Centered Composition" challenge. Sorry :(
I get where you are going with the self-centered thing, but isn't narcissism about self-love? It seems as if your subject is actually hiding instead of preening.
