The sentiment in this work is gorgeous... It's a nice "Reflection" that causes one to reflect on their own youth and the preciousness of life...definitely a

Wow, that's kind of freaky looking. You really captured an genuine expression on that little girls face. The editing was the perfect touch too. Real artsy. Overall this shot it really powerful. It kind of just smacks you in the face and...that's it. Good job, you smacked me hard

this is really quite cool on a few levels.

you captured a strange sense of the 'alternate universe' type mind with the mirrored, yet differing image.

the look on her face is strange, and rather intriguing, as it almost seems to convey open complacency.

i really like your work on this fooey.

Wow, what a fantastic pic foo masta

I'm just gonna say the same as everyone else, cos it's true, I love the way you've made the reflection colour and the child black and white, I think it gives the piece more meaning.

neocpmn [2003-07-28 14:24:38 +0000 UTC]

AmAzInG idea. I love how the child to the front looks like she's [spacing/thinking] about something. While the other girl looks like she's crying [dunno]... VERA+NiCe job with the whole manipulation. I love the color reflection and b&w actual.

olya [2003-07-28 05:50:02 +0000 UTC]

it is a curious thing to make the reflection color. well done!

i like the angle too. looking back into childhood, from a perspective of an adult.

kittynn [2003-07-28 05:25:34 +0000 UTC]

Beautiful. The whole shot really gets to me, makes me wonder what this child is longing for..

I adore the way the 'real' girl is in b&w, and her reflection is coloured. Only thing I might suggest is that you have her raise her arm which is in the foreground, as she looks a little bit unnatural and uncomfortable. The angle is *perfect*. *Sigh* this is just gorgeous

Very spooky image you've got here...like communicating with a ghost or something. The question is..which is the girl of the past and which is present?

205 deviations...I must browse. Noticing your profile you and I seem to share a lot of interests (Canon cameras, Vonnegut, D. Arronofsky movies, and photography)...weirdness

There isn't much to be said other than what has already been said. The image its self, is flawlessly executed and the manipulation of the color is astounding.

One wonders which one is the inner child, I often believe the inner soul is the colored side of us that just bleeds through to the black and white soul, hence giving us color.

Very well executed photo manipulation. I look forward to seeing more of your manipulations in the future.

Thank you for sharing.

It's like you try to crush and burn my hopes of being an artist! Oye, you have talent man. Are you working for some big company? This is so original... black and white on one side, but not on the other and its a reflection... ah... I LOVE IT!
