 I am a radiologist, and I look at pictures in dark rooms. This is a picture of my co-resident Josh sitting at a computer looking at a chest radiograph. I cheated by flipping the image on the screen so that the reflection was in normal orientation. Unfortunately I was unable to figure out a way to not get a double-reflection (I think one is from the inner surface of the lens, the other from the outer). I had thought about using a pair of sunglasses that have a mirror-like surface, but I like that you can see his eye through the image and decided to keep it as is.

i think this is very effective, but just needs to be brighter. it's hard to make out the occupation at first glance.

Effective use of light and dark. Creates a real sense of concentration.

Good idea, and striking image. I think that a less oblong and tighter crop would give you more pixels to better show off the great reflection.

Really fun concept. I am guessing X-ray tech or such. I think the lighting and everything works great, However, the image in the glasses I would have liked better clearity of.

very nice. I could have tolerated a little more light on the face, or at least on the near eye.
