Description What happens in that back corner of the mind when you look for a way to believe you have less? When you're looking for the side that's greener? When you're looking to be someone else? When you're wishing to be the fairest of them all? What happens when you are more concerned with the life you don't have than the one you do?

memod [2005-01-11 19:11:00 +0000 UTC]

...you then will fail

this shot is really stunning, I like how you desaturated everything and coloured the mirror green, that really creates this feeling of "two worlds".
and there is a nice depth in this pic
my only crit is that it could really need some sharpness.
apart from that, great work

you sure have got the good stuff around here
this picture is amazing, but there is one little thing... why did you leave the gold of the mirrors border in?
i mean, it is not like the border gives you the flashback...
anyway, for the rest of it, i love it

Wow Welder. I really think I need to go back and through some of your old gallery pics. Your photography is truly amazing and you are honestly one of my favorite modern photographers, especially of the ones on Deviantart.

Lonnie13 [2004-09-23 00:53:24 +0000 UTC]

What a wonderful idea. I love black and white photos. But there is something about bringing color and intertwining the two worlds togther.

There was a scene in Schindler's List.....in which a little girl was wearing a bright red cape and the entire scene was black and white.....The girl stood out so much.

Though the movie is very sad, and by no means is your image sad, it reminds me of that movie. *she shrugs her solders*

Amazing work, and great idea. I love it.

very thought provoking. The forest seems to have that 'I am not holier then thou art' yet in striving to be what it isn't it simple seems to accept that it is just a forest. It may be me, because I love walking in the woods but its really touching. You are who you see in that mirror.

Hey. Long time no see.
Neat idea. Have you thought about making just an image in colors? Like reflection is a world all by itself. While mirror with its frame belong here in the world of two colors.
