Through her eyes

[zedin]

So I needed a shot for a school contest. I still can't decide if I want to throw this picture into the abstract or self-portait category (I hate pics of myself so figured a silouette would be different). Got the idea from woodsac awhile ago =D Thanks for the inspiration.

I just love this picture.. You can see the image in the eye!! very nice.. The contrast is also very good.. Nice job!

Great job - must have been quite tricky to set up!

I think it would be quite an exceptional self-portrait!

That is a really awesome shot! The colors are great and the DOF is perfect IMO.

It seemed to me the trick was to give her the remote after it was all set up and tell her to just hold down the button until it took 15 or so shots. I noticed as I was focusing on her eye manually she tended to slightly drift back and forth (probably because you seem to move more when trying to hold still ) so I used the volume approach to make sure at least 1 shot was in the focus plane.
