Cool

You are getting artsy on us.
August 27th, 2012  
I like your style.
August 27th, 2012  
Oh, maggiemae, you are so clever. Love it.
August 27th, 2012  
This is just Awesome Maggiie!.....I love this, So clever & creative!
August 27th, 2012  
very interesting....is there something we should be doing, you look a bit demanding!
August 27th, 2012  
@chard In "Discuss" there is a themes and competitions site. Aaron has challenged all to duplicate his shot - it is not easy and I didn't get it quite right as you will see when you open his challenge
August 27th, 2012  
@maggiemae okay then, i will see.
August 27th, 2012  
Oh my- you look angry! I wouldn't want to get in trouble with you!
August 27th, 2012

Great job! You certainly tackled this challenge "head" on! :-)
August 27th, 2012  
@olivetreeann You can't see the twinkle in my eyes?
August 27th, 2012  
Great refective selfie
August 27th, 2012  
Haha, hey MaggieMae, this is quite Outstanding!! Very well done!
August 27th, 2012  
oh VERY cool! good for you for taking this one on... it's a wonderful selfie and i really like how you approached it... very creative!
August 27th, 2012  
nice one!
August 27th, 2012  
great shot Maggie!
August 27th, 2012  
Very creative!!! terrific effect!

Good job, Maggiemae! Is that a twinkle I see in your eye?
August 27th, 2012  
Fabulous challenge shot! Love it! Great job! :)
August 27th, 2012  
good challenge photo
August 27th, 2012  
I love the creativity!
August 27th, 2012  
@deburahiru If I look a bit stern it is because I took so many photos that my mouth got tired of smiling!
August 27th, 2012  
@hjbenson Why don't you give it a go, Harry?
August 27th, 2012  
@northy I see you have remarked on Aarons site! The comments are so funny in themselves, I hate to think what's going to eventuate! Go for it!
August 27th, 2012  
Great selfie Maggie .
August 27th, 2012  
@jasonfury Thankyou Jason, most of the time I'm smiling at what other people say
August 27th, 2012  
@maggiemae Yes there's plenty of comics on this site also !!! Loll
August 27th, 2012  
LoL! What a fun capture!
August 27th, 2012  
I expect you had a job to keep your face straight after many tries of getting it right ! You look like the war poster warning of careless talk costs lives....have you ever seen that Maggie, perhaps not. The guy is pointing his finger at us just like this shot!!!! Is that a wrist band for your camera dangling there & if s do you find it useful?
August 27th, 2012  
No just checked, it was the Britons we need you poster!
August 27th, 2012  
Wow, this is very clever!! And fun too. Will follow.
August 27th, 2012  
@happypat Yes, Pat it did remind me of something that was familiar! That band is a lens cap but the shoulder band came into play today. .I couldn't hold the camera steady with one hand so wound the shoulder strap under one thigh by putting my foot through it! I felt like Frank Spencer! My foot was half in a drawer under this photo shoot and my leg was caught in the photo strap! If I over balanced the whole episode would have been disastrous! I gave this attempt away!
August 27th, 2012  
I think you have done well to get this selfie its not easy
August 27th, 2012  
@maggiemae Funny this morning as I thought I would have a go doing this. Set the mirror right & took the picture & thought this is easy enough! Went back to the original & realised that he hadn't taken the photo with the camera he was holding as that was side ways on!!! A rethink for me, cleverer than you think!!!
August 27th, 2012  
No just checked again it was taken with his camera....stranger & stranger!!!!!
August 27th, 2012  
Very creative, Maggie!
August 27th, 2012  
Very good. You really threw that one back at Aron
August 27th, 2012  
nice shot
August 27th, 2012  
Well done! I tried to figure this one out but it appears I just don't have the gear I need to pull it off.
August 27th, 2012  
I can not find Arons site ?? help
August 27th, 2012  
A brilliant and clever shot Maggie.
August 27th, 2012  
Very artsy, and verrryyy serious... Great job.
August 27th, 2012  
Excellent - all done with smoke ans mirrors?
August 27th, 2012  
Bep
Cool, clever, creative!
August 27th, 2012  
Ann

August 27th, 2012  
Nice work, Maggiemae!!
August 27th, 2012  
@snowy Here's the "replicate me" challenge posted by Aaron: http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/14074/replicate-me-challenge-1

Great job, MaggieMae!! You were quick to meet the challenge!
August 27th, 2012  
Good job Maggie! Fav.
August 27th, 2012  
Great job!
August 27th, 2012  
@boogie I thought the same, Mags at the time. Im not allowed to say how it's done till afterwards!
August 27th, 2012  
Good for you!
You figured it out. I saw it and backed off as way over my head but will love to find out how you all are doing it.
I really like this but have to say at first I thought is was a gun.......
August 28th, 2012  
Cool shot
August 28th, 2012  
@cdonohoue Never thought of that as I was pointing but with that face it looked as I was facing up to something!
August 28th, 2012  
Great shot but oh my goodness, you cracked me up with your comments. One foot half in the drawer, strap under your thigh...reminded me of the game twister!!!!
August 28th, 2012  
Lyn
Great selfie...so nice to see you!
August 28th, 2012  
Very creatively done
August 28th, 2012  
@carolinedreams Thanks for your fav, Caroline! Bit of fun!
August 28th, 2012  
@annbarber Ann - thank you for faving this! It stands out more than I intended actually!
August 28th, 2012  
Jen
nice result...great selfie
August 28th, 2012  
Maggie, great editing and very inventive :) I used this technique with three mirrors to take a shot of my camera with my camera !
August 28th, 2012  
...btw...What defects ?
August 28th, 2012  
Good for you. I looked at this challenge but won't be attempting it, I couldn't work out how he's done it :o) xx
August 28th, 2012  
A fun selfie! I'm not sure I could edit out all my defects!
August 28th, 2012  
Love the selfie! Great response to the challenge too
August 28th, 2012  
a saw the challenge and this is wonderful...
August 28th, 2012  
Brilliantly done :)
August 29th, 2012  
Great selfie! The expression and hand gesture match the title to a 'T'
August 31st, 2012  
Brilliant creative selfie....love the tones and that finger pointing at me says it all....you mean business! ;-)
August 31st, 2012  
Bravo! Maggie - are you recreating the John Bull/Kitchener poster of WW1? Pure brilliance.
September 1st, 2012  
Well done! You look like a lady that demands obedience--Lord Kitchener would be proud.
September 1st, 2012  
Wonderful fun selfie - very creative ...and great processing!!
September 1st, 2012  
Clever selfie! I like it!
September 1st, 2012  
Interesting processing! Nice shot. You look very strict with that jesture of ordering. I think it is for us "Shoot, shoot and don't stop shooting!"
September 2nd, 2012  
Excellent shot!
September 2nd, 2012  
Amazingly creative Maggie... Wish I thought outside the box... I'm such a literal photographer :(
September 2nd, 2012  
Would 2 mirrors make this easier?
September 8th, 2012  
@bobfoto I used two mirrors only - if I had been able to use 3, I would have got the camera pointing at 90 deg instead of 45!
