Me, Myself and I

When walking through the city of Venlo (wich was the finish of a race of La Vuelta) I spot this piece of art on a statue. When I moved closer the take a photo of it, I suddenly saw my reflection as well as my shadow on the stone. So here it is after cropping, converting it to BW and some contrast and brightness addaption.

i like this. how did you get your image so that you can not see the camera being held to your eye?

Thank you Susan,
I held my camera with one hand right in front of me. I did that with my right hand. You can see my arm and elbow in the reflection. So basically (did I spell that right?) if the reflection was more detailed and coloured you should see my camera in front of me.
So I just found one advantage of a small compactcamera over a DSLR Small enough to hide.
(but not for long, I'm saving money for a DSLR )

DOh!!! I completely forgot about the compact camera (cc) and not needing to have them to the eye. sheesh.

Question - your avatar - beautiful! did you use your cc for that as well? If so- WOW! wonderful!

eta - just took a look see at your photo stream - when you get your hands on a dslr - you are going to go nuts! you are doing wonderful things with such a limited piece of equipment!!! I cannot wait to see what you put up when that day comes!

All the photo's on my Flickr photostream are made with my cc (Panasonic Lumix FX-35, quite a good camera but limited in settings and quite a lot of noise in low light conditions).
But what a compliment you gave me there (bit of a blush ).
Just an other good reason to really go for that dslr. But not too early now, first I have to work hard for the money.
