Very nice take , Armin. Nicely composed and the texture on the wall is a good touch.
First time I saw this kind of shot was from our friend Elips(Sharon). Don't remember exactly from which challenge it was though.

Nice balance of light, shadow, and detail.

Nice touch leaving no question as to where the leading lines point. -COAmature

This reminds me of Cocteau's Orphée from 1950 as he passes through a mirror into the underworld. I would expect this is different enough from the shots you mention. In Orphée, Cocteau used water for the wall here; so this would a clever take on that scene - the shadow of the hand imitating the reflection in the movie. I like the concept: in and through the wall. Nice. -tv

I can't remember seeing the two shots you refer to but if this is very similar to their shots then you're too good for copying. You can take someone else's idea & create something of your own out of it. If you have made your shot different then well done mate I like it but if it looks the same then you're a naughty boy:-)
