Either this is a cool idea for a shot, or it's a bit silly, or maybe it's both, but I quite like it nonetheless. It's a portrait of one of my good friends taking a shot of the both of us, or ... it's a self portrait of me taking his portrait, or ... it's him taking a portrait of himself, and so on ;-)
And, given that this is considerably less artistic than recent efforts, it might well be worth me (re)mentioning the ways I categorise my images. I have three primary categories: Portfolio (for the stuff I think is really good - there aren't many shots in this category), Gallery (for those shots that I think are pretty much ok but could be better), and Photolog (for shots that are i) limited in some way, either technically, aesthetically or both, or ii) just everyday "here's what I've been up to shots"). This shot falls into the latter category and was taken part way round our waterfall walk (see the shots from the previous two days), more as a bit of fun than anything else.

this is one cool shot; it's simple yet so meticulously composed

Top marks for composition - the addition of a second photographer is a nice twist. I love this. (god - I really wanted to leave this comment without using the word post-modern. but I couldn't. Its so Pomo!).

I rarely get tired of these perspectivce type shots. Its like standing in between two mirrors and trying to gaze into the infinite. The idea has the romance of promise, promise that the inside is greater than the outside, like Dr. Who's Tardis, a masive ship that is stuck in the form of a british call box. A world inside a world.

Hehe, a very fun shot! It took a moment for me to completely comprehend it, but I like it! ;)
i like this shot. i would have preferred that you crop out the lower 1/6th of the image though. i find that having the camcorder lens and LCD screen right in the middle of the image to be a little too static. overall nice shot.

And where's the fun in life if you don't have fun with your photos?
Keep it up - I've only been coming here for a couple of weeks, but really like the variety!
Fun shot. To me it looks like you have a tiny green parrot perched on your finger. =)
Apart from the subject of this photo, I like the ric (saturated?) colours, a bit unusual, and strong.
Nice concept for a photo...inspiring
