OK Grandma...Great shot. Glasses?...how about that neck!! The longer I look at this image the more I like it. Exposed is good, cropping is perfect and composition is, well....Grandma.

Fun shot.

    Thank you very much. I need that neck to be able to look over the camera ;-} Grandma.

This was a very fun piece to look at! Love the way your eyeglasses make your eyes look like a cartoon! Very entertaining piece.

Love the comedy in this shot. It's always fun looking in those mirrors. Think the contrast could have been a little better as it looks a little flat. A fun photo though - well done!

    Thank you very much. Well the light is bad there; but that isn't the issue. I need the mugginess, I tried but if I increase the contrast the self-portrayed person would get more clear what draws more attention of the viewer to that person. I can't risk that. I am affraid to many people would reconize me even in that distorted fashion. I cant risk that. I t would violate the rules of the contest. I have to stay incognito. It is a blind contest.

Fun house mirrors, always entertaining. Focus would appear to be good (little hard to tell with the distortion) good colors balance throughout the frame. Interesting presentation, thanks for sharing.

Looks like history was not the only thing being done at the museum! Like the way you managed to get such a fun shot! It is sharp and quite well exposed. It is clearly a self portrait that still keeps an air of mystery! Good shot, well done!

Haha this is a crack up. Love those old time mirrors. They defiantly make for an interesting photo. Maybe just crop out some of the sides. Great job.

    Thank you, I appreciate your review and your input. I did the cropp you suggest, but it dos not work out, If I cut right I loose the reflections in the background mirror together with the atmosphere of the place. If I cut left I loose the complimentary blue color.

Comment from rimikey


I think this is absolutely hilarious!
Great humor photography.
And even better artist notes, too!
You've taken a simple mirror distortion and turned it into something whimsical and abstract.
Great job done!
