A funny photo with a nice story. The presentation is well chosen. Good work and good luck with the contest.

Great photograph. At first the content is not apparent, but as the eye travels upward, one sees the humor in the photograph. Love it!

Comment from ellie.murdoch17


this photograph is quite interesting, the mirrors in the background have a good effect on the rest of the photograph but there doesn't seem to be a point to this photograph.

    Thank you for your review, but I do not understand your critique. It is an contest entry were a self portrait was ask but the identity of the self portrait person had to remain incognito. Please clarify for me why you can not see the point in it.

Fun choie for the self portrait contest and a unique vision-I think the side panels distract from YOU-the colours are a little muddy-perhaps brightening just the "portrait" panel of mirror or pumping up the saturation there would make the self portrait more the center of interest

    Thank you, i appreciate your review, The side panels are suppost to distract from me. That is a contest entry. Ask was an self portrait but the contest is blind, so the identity of the self portraited person has to be hidden. I am affraid considering the mirror distortion, without the distortion on the sides and worse with brightening the person, to many people would recognice me.

    Thank you. I had to come up with something different. A blind self portrait-contest is quite a challenge since my identity needs to be hidden according to the contest rules.

This one certainly gave me a chuckle. Very creatively done. I like it. Well composed and focused with personality galore. Nice job.

Comment from ramonafrances


This is absolutely hilarious. I so wanted people to have fun and truly be creative with this contest when I came up with the idea, and I am "not" disappointed. When I hit 50, I no longer want to have my picture taken but creative self-portraits is an entirely different thing ...to me.

    Thank you very much. I loved the contest and its challenge. I agree about the creative self-portrait.

    Yes, I am all about having fun. Since I cannot be with my kids for Christmas this year, I am watching lots of silly movies and playing with Photoshop, visiting FAR and doing art. It helps a lot.

    I envy you. For me it is the busiest time of the year. Retired? Well, I am still on stage. The difference retirement makes is I am not payed anymore.
