I have a question - what is the reflection left of piggy's left foot? Window with photographer within it or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

I don't have any kids...though my wife thinks some of my photos are a bit childish (see "C is for Condom", which was actually her idea..I wanted to a champagne cork).
Are you talking about the white piggy bank? That's not me...I was standing to the right of the bank. If I had to guess, I'd say the top part of that is the actual flash. The lower part is the reflection off the table (not covered with black paper). The "person" is probably my gaffer's tape...I noticed it was there before the final shot (the pink piggy bank).
This was a frustrating shoot. Lighting was a nightmare, trying to minimize shadows as much as possible. The sound trigger was acting up (home-made stuff will do that). The piggy banks aren't cheap ($4 for the white ones, $13 for the pink one), and the first two didn't even result in a photo (due to sound trigger issues).
