Great idea - which I will certainly emulate. The arrangement of eyes is a bit hypnotic. Good image. Nigel

Agree with the others. A very intriguing glimpse into your many eyes. And very nicely done. The colours work well, too.

Sandra,

This is such a fun idea for a self portrait. AND.... you did such a great job of doing it. Really unique and so intriguing. The expression, the direction of your eyes, along with the crop all make this a terrific photo.
Congrats,

Pax

what a great idea to use the corner of a facetted mirror! I love the result Sandra, everything of it, specially that the 3 faces each has a different level of saturation! I like the pastel colors and that there are only few colors ( the color spots inside the frame match your skin color ), the framing, your expression ( and your eyes being very apart which I find beautiful ;-)

Super!

The mystery from the first picture unfolds somewhat, but only so much. The Mystery Lady will afford us only a small, yet dazzling, glimpse of herself.

This picture, too, is unconventional, in the inclusion of the OoF mirror frame which occupies a large portion of the image and in the crop, as much as in the more obvious nicely done fragmented triple-reflection. The tilt, which in most pictures I find disturbing, does not bother me here at all, as does not the fact that there is no part of the picture that is sharply focused!

Although there's still a lot of mystery here, at the same time it's also strangely a very personal and sincere self-portrait.

Very nicely done!
