I Took The First Picture Of Me In The Reflection Of My Car Window After I Just Washed It, The Second One Is Just Me In A Mirror And I Messed Around With In CS2. What Do You Think.

Coments Welcome.

J-Dogg - The top shot's pretty standard. The second one, it has a good effect to it. It looks like a negative (pretty soon, people wont even know what a negative is anymore eh?) I wish you were wearing something other than the hat, it seems a little pedestrian... maybe a ghost outfit for Halloween?

Both are pretty cool.

first one's way too over processed. First, if you're going to take a reflection shot either get a flat window and don't show the context, or get a car window but show what's around it. The second shot is fine, but nothing special. I'm not much for these kinds of photos anyways.

The bottom image, the very processed one, has a good look about it. The close up with the lens right in our face is effective and the treatment you gave it in CS2 works , I feel. The top image, as GB1 said looks pretty standard and also looks underexposed a stop or so. I would have liked to see a little something more in the image showing it is a reflection off a window other than the very light ghosting image on top.

Sup J-Dogg, I think the bottom close up one would have been good in black and white.

the top one has good contrast, the bottom is a little too strong...but still a sharp image

[livin4lax09]

your images look very soft, as if you're applying a despeckle action, or a noise reduction software.

better it was noise ninja lol

[livin4lax09]

too much NN is bad. It gives images a very altered look, which a lot of the time you don't want the images to have. Noisy images are displeasing to the eye, but too much noise reduction software makes them even more unpleasant. to me at least.
