That's cool, Manic! Very nice work!

ZOMG HAX!!1!

That is amazing. Simply amazing.


Constructive Criticism: Now, if you could just get rid of the bit of the reflection on the right side, it would be a true masterpiece. Unless, of course, you left it in on purpose, then it is a different story.

/agree re the shadows

I love your hair by the way.

[Manic Velocity]

Actually, the shadows are accurate.    They are caused by the light source directly over the mirror.

The image is composed of two separate photographs.  One photo was layered on top of the other in Photoshop, and then cut in half.  Everything on the left half of the image is exactly what was photographed, and everything on the right half of the image is exactly what was photographed.

And thank you Destyn, but that's my hair on a very bad day.

So should you on the right side also have a shadow, or is there?  I'm confused :S

Ahh. Point taken.

You've done a very good job.

The shadows are being cast from my "dark self" on the right side.  I guess it does look a little weird.  But what's there is what's there.  

Here are the two original photos:

And layered in photoshop with some transparency:

Ahh gotcha.  All that remains is to remove that electrical device on the left and it's sweet as :p

Manic is the awesomeness with photoshop!

[Phienyx]

I like that.  Very cool.

With the transparency one, take the standing figure out. So you have a solid standing figure and a faded reflection in the mirror...

my 2 cents.
