Hi auntie em, am i the only one who is wondering : "where's the timer?"

What minolta is that? I like the classic look of the body.. Like a film camera.. Is it?

Also i dont think the flash fired.. Right?

To me the shot would be more interesting if I could see some of the photographer's face. Just having the camera in front of the face doesn't really make for a photo that catches my eye. Also I find the lighting to be a bit harsh with a yellow tone to it. Not sure if you were going for that or not.

Turn you hand around the lens so the weight rests in your fingers. You will get must more stability.

The White Balance is off, the image is very yellow on my (calibrated) screen.

I like the idea though.

Also - Read the section rules - you need to ask specific questions and post your EXIF data

Hello,
Heres a link for some must reads.
Posting in the critique section does require a bit more work with more information for us.
Please check them out and see what information you are missing. (a bit more of a specific question as well as exif (camera settings) will help us a great deal i helping you.
The more you know, the better it gets!

Guys... it is not a mirror shot.... I am assuming the digital camera that took the image of the minolta is on a tripod.

Feedback wise, besides the wb; is the minolta is in a portrait orientation and the image is taken in a landscape orientation. Makes it a seem a little off.

OOh... good catch there on the idea of it not being a mirror shot Scooter.. and your comments, I'd have to say you are spot on in my opinion.
