A picture of me taking a picture of me*

Not easy to focus handheld at 1/5sec iso50 under 2 60 watt incandescents, but it was fun to try. This should be a good challenge with a wide open topic like this one. Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with. Cheers.

Canon PowerShot Pro 1
1/5s f/3.2 at 7.2mm iso50 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Nice idea with the double reflection and good job getting most of both in focus. I wonder what it would look like in B&W, given that tan is the only color in the picture.

Looks a lot better:-)

Thanks for tip Nugar. I added a saturation adjustment layer, removed blue, reduced red and yellow, a pass of usm at 100, 1, 2. Looks better.

Thanks for the feedback. The white balance was tough because the room is painted green and the lights are incandescaent. I'll try to get it a little better.

Yes the idea is good but as said, it does need pop mate. Good one Darrel:-)

Good idea, Darrel, I like it. * I think you can make this image pop in post-processing, maybe some white balance as it has a yellowish/greenish cast and either saturation or desaturation.
