Challenge: Superstitions & Urban Legends (Classic Editing)
Camera: Canon PowerShot A40
Location: Coulson Park - Billings, MT

Had to do this one outside, but it's been snowing all week. My daughter and I broke a mirror and rearranged the pieces on the ground. Then I took several pictures of my daughters reflection in the pieces until I got one I liked. Suspicision states that if you look into a broken mirror, you will get 7 years of bad luck.

Nicely done. Top 5. But additional right eye bothers me a tad.
Score an 8.

i think you should have done this in black and white to make it more dramatic-anz

challenge -- met
technical -- you managed to get the reflection in focus, more than i achieved when i tried this kind of shot. good job.
compostition -- personally, i feel there's too much 'wasted' space. maybe have more of the person reflect in the mirror pieces and less of the concrete floor.

Is that rain? It looks like rain and I like it, helps with the mood and your worried look . My only complaint is the white splotchon the lower right- snow? Othersise a nicely balances image, monochrome colors works well with the mood. 9

Is that snow? If it is you'll know where I'm talking about. If it's snow it goes up otherwise it's only a 4.

Good idea...but I think the water/dirt/whatever on the mirror is too distracting. Not that the mirror HAS to be clean...but in this particular photo I think it would have helped.

Is that snow? I think the mirror shards could have been arranged better but it's still very pretty.

Nice image, but the texture of the background ruins it a bit for me. seasick - 6.

This was almost the exact shot I was looking to do all week. I ended up in a totally different direction. Very good job. It seems that the snow or rain may take away from it just a bit. I like it a lot though. DPz
