 15 second time elapsed picture. Probably should have done something better with my outfit, but I'm damn tired. Damn tired... This is my 1,000,000th self portrait I've used for challenges. I didn't shave this morning, so I should be unrecognizable to everyone! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

My guess - PERFECT 10!

Great and thanks for the info. I'll to give that a try some day. I can't believe how simple it is. Superb. Oh and I didn't even notice your tshirt. I don't think clothes had anything to do with it, your expression did it for me.

Thanks for all the great comments. I was amazed to see how my score really shot up once this was verified.

With this shot I pretty much just stood in the same place (maybe a half step over) and simply flipped my camera over and fired off the flash. It was much easier than I thought it was going to be. If I could go back and do it again I would have worn something different. I think if I would have dressed up a little more the score would have been better. I probably could have also used my wife in one of the shots and that would have worked as well. Anyway, I liked how it turned out and I wish voters would vote based on what they see, not whether or not they think I cheated.

Incredibly well done, and your two expressions mirror each other so well. Of course I recognize you by now, but had I voted in this challenge I wouldn't have marked you down for it. :-)

Geez I was sure this would ribbon. Not that you are so pretty but fine idea, very well executed shouldn't be racking so many scores below 4.

Wow...How did you do this? Nice lighting and the expression really tells the story. Nice work.

I am assuming you have done a double exposure which is quite effective, I like the way the lighting effectively falls on the same side of the face and at first I actually thought this was a copy / paste / rotate but the lighting is just different enough to prove that wrong :)

Not sure how this will score, it must have been pretty hard to pull off this well and it is artistic, but I wonder if some people will think it a DQ for the reasons I mention above...
