Interesting macro idea. Wishing it was darker in the shadows so I
couldn't see the stem of the mirror. What's the inspiration here?

Gives me the impression of a dead Buddhist monk being gaffed out of the
sea following the 2004 tsunami. Good work sir!

Having seen some of your other family portraits, I was really looking
forward to this one from the thumbnail. The shallow focus draws from the
punch your other portraits have, though I understand this was a little more
off the cuff than studio arranged. Lovely lashes! *batbat*

I'm supposing her battle opponent didn't have a real battleaxe...reminds
me of a George Carlin line referring to Civil War re-enactors saving the gene
pool by using real bullets. Seems a little harsh and contrasty for the
sepia IMO. I like the tilt to it though.

What kind of car is that next to your shadow? If you could have
found a fresh pool of blood on the side walk you could merge with the head of
your shadow, it'd be a winner.

Here in Cairo they've stopped shooting the strays and have moved on to
leaving poisoned piles of meat to eliminate them. With the help of the
more modernized waste disposal systems and pickup, the carcasses don't sit in
piles of trash rotting in the sun for months at a time anymore either...lots
more efficient! Didja give puppy a treat? I like the grayness to
the picture...bold bright colors would have been a distraction to the
feel.

Like the idea, and especially how the temple(?) roof blends with the tree
trunks. But wondering, do you have a warming filter? Feelin too
much blue here.

Interesting...looks almost multimedia. She looks like a picture
printed out low quality and scanned again...the trees(?) above her head look
out of place, and the random loss of focus is rather disturbing...reminds me
of a party I went to once. I think there's an issue of scale to be
mentioned here as well, the grass she's laying in looks a little big compared
to her (again, it was a good party).
