 My first entry, of many I hope.

Had no ideas for this challenge and was messing around snapping photos of the camera through a mirror. Saw my own reflection beside the camera and decided to try to make some kind of a ghostlike me behind it.

Camera on tripod aimed at a mirror with a white wall in the background. Natural light from a large window to the side. Set exposure to 5 seconds and included self in image for a few moments before covering self up with a large white envelope.

Messed around quite a bit with adjustments on the RAW in Lightroom. A bit unsatisfied with the amount of blur on myself, but that's the best one I got out of about 50 shots.

An interesting composition that has a commercial feel.

Nice contrast. Nice balance too.

A super beautiful photograph. On this way perfect photograph that can serve for Canon publicities. Sharpness is perfectly on the Canon 350D. A double picture existing from Low Key in the forefront and High key in the context.

For me possibly the top photograph of these Challenge.

Personally - I think the contrast is too high.

Also, I don't see the double exposure element?
Is it exposed once without the face, then exposed again with?

nice with a hidden double.
