Unusual no doubt. But the camerea does not make any connection for me with the split images on the monitor. A bit too much 'in your face'.

I think this is quite an unusal photograph for you ECH. Which is good!
Yeah, the camera dominates, it's apart of the mood/theme you are going for!
Right?
Even though my eye goes to the camera first, it stays there for a second or so, and quickly goes right towards you. It creates an interesting source of tension.
I would like to see the color version! It might be better?!

I took those two with my extra cheap Olympus D-395 so the color version is no good at all... no like the B&W is it..
Thanks.

I'm with Brian on this one. About the color I mean, not the mountain bikes :D The difference in colors on the monitors adds to the image, imo. The whole thing has kind of a backstage, behind-the-scenes feel to it for me, which is encouraged by the mismatched monitors. The image does feel a little cluttered to me, but I like the idea overall.

Put me down for the b&w. It brings about one of those weird nostalgic feels to it, like those 60's movies. It evokes a bit of cognitive dissonance that is at once unsettling yet appealing (like that toothache you keep biting down on). Not that it's a painful image, you understand.

I like the dominance of the camera. It's "In your face" quality, to me, works with the face in the monitors.

OK! Enlighten me! Why the "miiror image" of the camera?
