I got the idea from my broken mirror that I've been wanting to replace. I started by tearing the mirror apart to get to the shards. From there, I cleaned them off. This took a very long time, since most of the shards are tiney, and when I handled them, I left fingerprints behind.
After I assembled them together again, I took dozens of little rolled up pieces of paper to skew the angle of the mirrors.
Then came the fun part, getting the flowers to show up on different shards.
PP : Cropped, auto levels, color adjustments, hue adjustments to make the pink flowers more red. clonig to remove some specs on the mirror shards, then switched to lab mode, applied a 3% gausian blur to the a and b channels, and then switched back to RGB mode. Applied a slight USM, and then sved for web.

This is an interesting take on this challenge and the photo turned out very nice. My only complaint is that there is quite a bit of noise in the blue sections. Other than that, I think this is a very nice shot. Good job.
7 years bad luck for you! Sorry. Actually, a nice image. Lighting is just a tad harsh, but I like the composition and find it engaging and interesting.
