< 2nd Place > Mirrored Self in Shade

Myself in my bathroom mirror. I used my old film camera with Kodak Tri-X 400 film pushed to 3200 ISO. I then made an enlargment and scanned it using a flatbed scanner. I used Photoshop to make minor adjustments. Hope you like it! :)

Praktica BX-20, Pentacon 50/1.8

Very good positioning, good grain, excellent shadow, more like "hello darkness my old friend". I personally would have liked to see more detail on the face. If the darkness creates the "tease factor", I think it's overdone. Good enough to get two points from me though.

Excellent photo - hope you don't mind if we use it as the photo icon until we get a few more entries?
