I just got excited when I had the ideas to "poke a hole" in someone with mirrors. A huge thanks to my wife who left for the day with my daughter, then still put up with all my hrumphing and hawing over this shot (and is generally a great help and critic).

This is literally a "garage" shot, with a regular bed sheet hung in the open garage door. I never did get one shot that had all the qualities I wanted, largely because I am too tall! I am kneeling here and my pose isn't as relaxed as some of the others, but there is a band of darkness at the top when I stood. Oh well, I'll be perfect next time, I promise.

Crop, Flip (heart was on wrong side), Curves, Resize for DPC, USM.

Best of all, I can now say I'm naked on the internet!

Not really a silhouette. Too much detail on the man's chest and face. The heart thing is a bit cheesy and distracting IMO. I understand why validation was asked for...

There are a lot of details in your silhouette. But what I do not really like is the white heart. It seems a not very well done pw even it probably is not.

Basic editing?

Your subject is well lit, but the background needs some work -- I can see the wrinkles in the sheet. You need to step away from it a few feet so it will be out of focus, and the imperfections in the sheet not as obvious.

I would have liked it better without the superimposed heart.

the inclusion of the heart takes away from the shot, IMO
