My stabler. With a reflection from the TV.
A last minute entry. I looked around in the room just to see if I could submit anything. I finally choose my stabler, because it looks like a face. :)
Using tripod and my bed, I waited for interesting reflection from the tv before shooting. I really liked the outcome and decided to give it a try. Focus could have been little better.

I hesitate to make comments since I am obviously not an expert, but here goes: It is my opinion that a photo should be able to "stand alone" apart from the challenge (not sure that makes sense, in other words, it should be a good subject even if you don't know what challenge it was entered into). I felt that was where this photo was a little weak -- I couldn't see it having meaning apart from the challenge.
You'll probably get slammed for the fact that the part isn't immediately recognizable, but I think that adds to the impact. Seeing familiar objects in new ways is one of the best aspects of this challenge.
Is this a totem or just a macro of a lock or something similar? Reminds me of Wilson, the ballfriend Tom Hanks tamed on a deserted Island. Very spiritual mood. I am an avid follower. Ten.
At second glance I enjoyed the blushed red cheek and the interesting lined reflection in the upper left corner giving the photo even more depth.
