 My stabler. With a reflection from the TV.
A last minute entry. I looked around in the room just to see if I could submit anything. I finally choose my stabler, because it looks like a face. :)
Using tripod and my bed, I waited for interesting reflection from the tv before shooting. I really liked the outcome and decided to give it a try. Focus could have been little better.

I hesitate to make comments since I am obviously not an expert, but here goes: It is my opinion that a photo should be able to "stand alone" apart from the challenge (not sure that makes sense, in other words, it should be a good subject even if you don't know what challenge it was entered into). I felt that was where this photo was a little weak -- I couldn't see it having meaning apart from the challenge.

You'll probably get slammed for the fact that the part isn't immediately recognizable, but I think that adds to the impact. Seeing familiar objects in new ways is one of the best aspects of this challenge.

Is this a totem or just a macro of a lock or something similar? Reminds me of Wilson, the ballfriend Tom Hanks tamed on a deserted Island. Very spiritual mood. I am an avid follower. Ten.
At second glance I enjoyed the blushed red cheek and the interesting lined reflection in the upper left corner giving the photo even more depth.

The lightness seems too light for my tastes.

Now, this is a mysterious and interesting image. I like it a lot and complement you on your good eye to catch this one.

Brilliant idea! It's a little bit blurry though, and all the dark space around the 'face' feels wasted.
