This is like king of grain, but I do like the comp with the lamp and the peering eye. Bumping up.

I really like the mood of this image. The lighting and the grain really enhance the theme created by the title. The composition gives it an earie type mood. The single eye gazing into the mirror is quite captivating.

It's a bit noisy. Thats what unfortunetely happens when you shoot in dark situation. Would like to see this without the noise and it would be a very nice image....maybe in black&white or sepia?

Oy! I think it's too grainy, great idea but I don't like the noise.

i guess you were going for the grainy look and feel...i see that it is a reflection using existing light from the candle. however, for me, the excessive graininess makes it hard to look at. i'd probably find it more interesting if your face wasn't hidden by the camera. that really is the challenge: how to capture what we see without the camera getting in the way...

Clever, and I like the use of the grain as well.

Where is the mirror?

The over abundance of grain has ruined what could have been a fine photograph. It appears that you have a Canon DSLR, which shouldn’t allow for such grain even at high ISO. Try taking the shot again and adjust some of the settings (ie ISO 200, 1/10 shutter speed, tripod to stabilize camera, etc) Also try using a flash, it will black out the entire mirror except for the reflection.

Good luck in your next challenge

Noise is not helping this image.
Intentionaly or not, it's not pleasing me (and I can only talk about myself)
Very nice camera, want to swap?
