I'm playing around with some fun techniques, or just flukes that I enjoy. Opinions?

Note: Sorry about the date on it. My new camera automatically does this and I'm trying to figure out how to turn it off.

I did this with an antique mirror, dark room and a headlight + camera flash. Fun stuff.

Cool as! If the colours of the jacket and all were faded a bit, this would be a really cool spooky picture. It was an interesting idea, and the antique mirror's imperfections is just the cherry on top. The only nitpick is that you could have centred it a little better.

I'm liking!

This is cool, Kamas. I liked the idea and thought behind it. The bright light flashing is just so awesome. When I opened this link and this photo appeared in front of my eyes, I closed my eyes for once as the flash was too bright. Good job.
And as for the time, you can edit it if you want to post it at MS-Paint or any other tool you have , only if the background is of one colour. Even if the date comes, its not bad! :P

Hey Kammie!

Well, I really like the top half of it, but I don't like the rest of it. Sorry.
I like the mirror's reflection, but I don't like the fact that I can see the a bit of the camera (which looks wow, btw!)
The band/bracelet thing on your arm is a bit distracting, and so are the over exposed bits of your fingers.
The white flash around your head reminds me of Einstein's hair. xD

It's cool but just not so awesome.

Anyway, keep experimenting. You're bound to find some awesome pictures that way.

Hey! I just want you to know the date was very distracting. I know you mentioned it, and that you're trying to fix it, but here's something you can do in the meanwhile. See it down there below?
Anyways, I used MSPaint, since it was pretty easy, but there might be other photos that don't have such blackness. If so, I suggest Photoshop. If you don't have that as a program, try going onto photoshop.com and using the tools they have there. If you don't like that, use the 'Photo Repair' option in the ACDSee photo editor.
Granted, you may never work with these programs, but they're there when you need them...online. Or just go ahead and buy them in any CD program store.

I love this. The date is distracting, but like people have said you can easily take such things off. You could also play around with making the sweatshirt brighter and stuff. It might look better if the flash was in the center of the picture, but I also love it like this. Or you could try to make it in a corner or some such place. Some of the big dots of white distract me from the whole thing. You could try to take those off. The bracelet on your wrist is also distracting. I like that you can see the camera, but the hand pops out too much for my liking. There is a red spot on the bottom of the picture that is distracting too. Also, the yellow sweatshirt is a bit, though the ones I listed before are more so.

I can picture this photo on some teen magazine :)

What's wrong with your face, Kamas?

xD Anyways, I'm with Lava on this one. Top half: AWESOME. Second half: NOT. So what I would suggest is to crop it out, and leave the top half on its own. That way you get the same cool mirror-effect you were looking for, and your reader (um...looker?) has no idea how you accomplished it. It will be EPIC!
