Here's the thread:) http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/19144/5-2-week-9-theme

I like! I haven't been able to come up with anything for this week--it's always a struggle--but I'm enjoying it.

[Jaydee]

nice "combo" take on the theme! nicely done! =)

[Taffy]

Fabulous shot! Good two-fer too. I was taking shots tonite of trains in the city -- found myself thinking, 'how would @northy shoot this?'

[AC]

Wonderful lighting and pov!

[Lisa Pouncy]

There, I knew yours would be completely different ;o) The look in your eyes is fantastic. I always have big problems focusing in selfies. I even got youngest son standing in as a model but still my focus isn't quite right. You've got it spot on in this shot :o) xx

[Penny Price]

Great B&W selfie.

[emily tull]

great lighting...what does it say in the ball?

[Sean]

Wicked shot!

[Sue]

Awesome shot! Love your composition & the lighting.

[Marloes]

Wow, I just love your creativity! :)

[Katia]

:D Your selfies are so entertaining! :)

[☠northy]

@houdiniem tx... The ball is telling me to keep my day job ;0

[☠northy]

@psychographer tx Lisa... there was quite a lot of trial and error in the settings... Notice the f/8... At least I didn't have to worry about the background :)

[Roneil]

beautifully done

[Leana Niemand]

A very interesting shot, I can look at it for a long time, a really great shot.

[John]

Fab

[Jocasta]

So creative - love it.

[Humphrey Hippo]

So awesome!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Great shot! Love the eyes!! Thank you so much for your recent follow! I am honored as I've admired your work from afar quite often. I look forward to seeing more of it now. Only I'll use my computer screen instead of a crystal ball.

[Edie]

Great selfie. Very creative and your eyes are beautiful.

[☠northy]

@edie tx Edie... as for my eyes... i may just have given them a bit of a "lift" with LR ;p

[Edie]

Okay. I need to learn that one!

[summerfield]

great combo, kiddo. I wanted to use my cb but it wasn't behaving like my stomach. :-) had to etsooi mine as it was hard to focus looking at the screen through the mirror. had a few shots with my stupid glasses on. hmmm..maybe i'll post a filler. printing dilemma solved, i reckon?

[☠northy]

@summerfield tx... yeah... i think i'll just have them do the printing for me... less of a hassle all around... and technically, that's not a crystal ball... it's some kind of plastic... i got it on canal street in new york some 35 years ago... along with a second hand green glass chair coaster... that was my crystal ball for years :)

[Tabbycat]

THERE you is!!! Sorry I missed this is fairytale week! Was travelling with no internet :-(
Great idea for the theme and well executed!

[❀ Lynn]

Cool.
