Ugh! It's so good it makes me sick! I'm just sitting here shaking my head. Anyone want to buy a 9 mo old 10D? Auuuuuuuuugh! ~ Lonnit

Fantastic stylized and moody shot. Only nit pick - cropping of feet in the reflection. Truly excellent.

Wow! I also didn't realize that there was a mirror involved... thought it was two buff guys. My guess is that the mirror seem is to the right of the live man and not in the picture at all. Great shot. And Grant, you must be some buff guy! ;) Ann

To Grant: That's what 99% of all men look like on the net, am I not right? I am worried about you Grant - seems like you've been spending too much time on the net lately - and now have trouble separating between the real and the virtual realities. You'll have to promise me that you'll go out and smell the roses - the REAL roses in the REAL WORLD!

Oh, just got another idea of how to cure your condition - which, as an extra bonus, would provide you with stuff for this challenge: put your camera behind you and point it into a mirror - in other words take a picture of your own reflection - but remember to take off your shirt first! Then post the picture here. Consider it group therapy. Don't worry, we are your friends and we WILL be gentle!

To Rahul: Nice to have you back Rahul and a very nice photograph! The fact that the mirror "seam" is not visible, really adds mystery to this one. Well done!

Rahul, welcome back, and what a return! Like everyone else, I can't see the mirror, and assumed you had photographed twins (now, there's an idea...)
The image has a "50's" quality to it somehow, the tones and the grain; are you sure you only just shot this? :)
Great image, and has set the standard, I believe. Phil

Seems to break some law of Physics, but I cant seem to figure out which. Are you sure there was no Photoshop involved ? -- WONDERSTRUCK

amazing. I can't quit look at it, trying to figure out where it starts and where it finishes(reflectionwise) of course he isn't too hard on the eyes either
