Reflection Portrait

This is my reflection portrait. For this project we needed to include a self portrait with an element of reflection. My photograph is my silhouette in a car windshield. In the top left there is a sunset that is also reflected through the window, as you move to the bottom right there is trees and the bottom of a cell phone tower that is distorted by the curvature of the windshield. These elements represent me because I love being outdoors and the car is the "key" to being able to be outside in interesting places such as this one. This print is also arranged upside down because it gives an interesting perspective and it places the sunset where it stereotypically is, adding an ease of viewing to the person looking at this photo There is a couple problems with this print however, First of all there is a lot of dead space in the top portion of the photo this detracts from the picture and especially the little details in the bottom 3/4 of the picture, the second flaw with this photo is that it came out pretty grey. Im not sure if the developer we were using was responsible or if I should have used a filter to make the dark and lights come out better. The scanner made this photo look like it has more contrast but in person the photo is very gray and not extremely pleasing to the eye.
