This image is completely unedited. The only changes made to this file were the file name, and resizing (the file was to large to submit otherwise). I set my camera on the coffee table, and shot with a very small depth of field, centered on the wicker of the table. I decided to try a self portait on this one, since the self would appear as more of a ghost than a shot that screamed \"hey, look at me!\"
I set my camera to timer, framed and focused my image, hit the shutter release, ran, and sat on the floor--against the wall. it was about a half hour prior to sunset. The sun was flowing in through a west-facing window to my right. minimal light filtered in through an east-facing window to my left. only those two natural light sources were used.

I would have liked to see what this looked like if she was in focus and not the wicker on the table.. I think the reflection would still come through with the correct lighting.
hey I like this a lot! Great idea - would have been nice to make those vertical lines vertical - and running levels to make your whites whiter would add a lot of tonal range that's kind of missing.
