I’ve had this image sitting around for a while. It’s actually a test shot; I was messing about with a mirror, trying to work out positioning, light settings, etc., for another photograph. While looking back through my files, I re-discovered it and thought it was sort of cool, even though it wasn’t taken with any particular thought or intention other than to check technical elements.
What do you think? Does it work as in image in its own right?

I love the rawness of this image… Lovely. XO
Gorgeous – all your photos are so considered and beautifully executed – consistently among the best. xxx
I absolutely adore this image. It makes me feel as if I am watching you as you create. You are a talented lady.
The short answer is yes it totally works as an image in its right…. The longer answer is I hope you use this as a starting point to explore this shot more. I would love to see you play around with it again, reshoot it but get rid of the darkness beside the mirror, keep the scattered clothes etc but tilt up slightly to get your head in. You can mask your face behind the actual camera. One of the interesting things I have learned at Camera club is be that little bit more aggressive with your crop, really force the viewers eye into what it is you want them to ‘look’ at. At first I was dubious, surely you risk losing context, but actually that is rarely the case and I have found that applied at the right time it completely transforms an image.

I really like this one. It totally works!
It’s a raw and intriguing photo, innocent yet not so. So yes, this photo does work x
Yes, it is a lovely shot with a behind the scenes kind of feel.
I love Molly’s ideas for similar shots with more planning as well!

I think this is a wonderfully creative photo. Raw, simple and honest.
This image is beautiful even if you had no intent behind it.
I do, however, see that there is so much here to use as a starting point to work with. Hope you will decide to pick it up again but with an intention and purpose this time.

This is stunning!
I love this. Sometimes the test shots can be a good as or even better than the final image.
This totally works! I love the way it seems like a window into your artistic process. I also love the phrase you use to introduce the Sinful Sunday link.
Oh, definitely! I love behind-the-scenes shots, they let me feel as though I am “peeping in” on something
