If only famous last words were a couple weeks earlier...


POST CHALLENGE:

No, that's neither a camera, remote, or anything else in either of the hands present.

These hands are not mine. I am not in this shot at all. I was inside the car, shooting as a friend approached.

Is that the remote I spy in the upper hand?

I like the concept but I think I see the hand holding the camera.

Do you know what really draws my eye - the writing on the mirror.

Overall the image is a little uninspiring, so lets examine it and work out what the various problems are.

The mirror is where you want the viewer to look I guess, so why have such a big area of wall in the frame? zoom in and get rid of unwanted space. Especially that ugly dark shadow.

Now the refelction. The hand is really not sharp, but thats your main subject. There is a stray hand just half in the mirror, you need to ensure that small problems are dealt with at the time of shooting.

The writing on the mirror ... theres not much you can do about that except use a different mirror or clone it out in PS. However, it IS distracting. The other option you could have gone for would be to make the writing THE central theme by making thats sharp and contrasty whilst the other elements recede.

As it is there are lots of learning points to work on here.

I know it is possible to get the mirror images more in focus, because I have done at lot of experiementing with this in a moving car...interesting angle though.
