this is my first submission -- very happy to be here. and extremely grateful for any feedback/advice.
fragments of mirrors stuck on some picture frames on my coffe table and arranged to reflect something (which ended up being me becuase it was easier)...with nearly everything out of focus except my face (book in the background near the right edge is also in focus). cropped, noise reduction, and levels in PS (stupid me - i forgot to switch the ISO back for the final shot and shot this at 1600 and got lots of noise). used the 'red filter' setting in b&w mode on my camera with the timer shutter-release (i need a remote). had to go b&w because the flash mixed with indoor lights is nasty. focal length = 73 mm

This has a real cubism feel! Very creative! I like that you included some background, it gives the shot some depth. I love the B&W and the noise/grain. Well done! :)
I'm totally surprised this didn't do better. Really unique composition, I think it was just a bit "muddy" in terms of what was the real subject. I would continue to work on this though, a great idea.
Wow! Picassoesque. I love the image. The background may be a bit too dark for this challenge, especially since it's hard to see the shallow DOF, but still, amazing.
Interesting capture though I find it hard to determine what is the main subject . I guess it's the eyes in the upper right but due to the brightness the ones on the right also draw attention even though are slightly out of focus. This I find a bit distracting.
