 Shocker! Another self portrait. These are fake tattoo sleeves that you can buy at Walmart. I think tattoos are fine and I actually like them, but in this picture they are symbolic of the bad choices I made as a young teenager/adult. I've managed to pull myself up to a place where I can be content with life, but I still reflect at times and have my regrets.

Not sure how this will do, but I like it so it doesn't really matter.

Is this just taking a picture of the misguided youth from the mirror? It's a great shot, balanced, well lit, and with a great subject. Obviously, I would like to see a more creative use of a mirror, but a mirror was used nonetheless. Less creative + Great shot = 7

I like the picture!

Aside from the contest, I just wonder, why you wrote 'misguided'? !

Is this his reflection or him? Trying to figure out the answer to that question is part of the fun of looking at this pic. Love the colors, the black background.

You know what would really make this picture? A cigar. And maybe a different guy smoking that cigar. Yeah - that would do it. ;)

This would have been a fantastic shot, but the whole idea is too meet the challenge requirements. You must have a mirror in the shot. Nice Tats though.

Not sure the "mirror is evident in your photograph" as the challenge stated...but a good portrait with a nice contrast of color and black & white.

Misguided Youth or creative soul escaping?
