    Self Portrait

    I shot this in a gas station bathroom in the Bronx a few years back. I still don't know what to think of it.

    I like the idea. How about a bit more light in the face and over saturate the colours a bit. Another idea: convert to black and white and increase the shadows. Just my thoughts.

    Yes I agree w b/w, I dont feel the colour adds much and a contrasty b/w might work well.

    I don't think B&W would work well here, but the background overpowers the subject. It needs to be darkened, both in the actual image as well as in the reflection. The person needs local lightening to stand out more.
