Just saw the challenge late in the night and decided to give it a try. So, playing with it, I took a picture of my reflection in the monitor, just for fun, and found interesting the second oof image that showed up. I liked the composition and, after some shots, I think this would do it - I am satisfied with the end result, no matter what the voters will say.
However, I am eager to see some comments, since I've never done anything like this before...

Used "Cloudy" white balance setup to create more drama to the image.

PP: Levels, Brightness/Contrast, Hue/Saturation, Cloning, Crop, Re-size, USM and Save for web.

Really interesting. I'd love to see it with the red tones down though or in B&W.

Nice duplicate. Did you do this in camera? I'm curious to find out. Would have liked at least some light on the left of your face to get just a hint of your eye there. Nice tone though for sure.

Interesting. Just a bit more focus in the eyes would have really worked well.

I don't know if the orange cast was intentional, but it looks like your whitebalance was a bit off ;-) there's also a line through your blurry you, wonder how that happened?

I like the red/orange hue, it really adds something to this photo. Good job!

Like a counter ego. Good suspense feel. Bump.

Nice effect - almost implies a duality of sorts.

Interesting with the blurred self in the background that seems like a mirror reflection but clearly can't be. I don't like the color balance on this. Seems unintentionally off, sorry if I am wrong, just a matter of tastes.
