Mirror Image
Frequently, mirror images are used by photographers to convey serenity in nature of mountains reflected in lakes, for example, as well as in commercial works like this edgy Barry Lewis image of Scott Ridley. And sometimes they’re aimed at grabbing attention or evoking emotion as I believe was the case in the image below. It’s particularly striking because of the predominance of black which creates an almost eerie, disconcerting reaction in the viewer. Does it move you? If so, how?

Not disturbing, but it does bear a strong resemblance to the offspring of an alien and a republican.....
Oh wait, we've already crossed that bridge, right?

Oh, pray tell, to which alien and to which Republican do you refer?
Oh wait, you're right, that ship has indeed sailed. ;-)

Weird, no other way to describe it. It somehow reminds me of the movie, "The Bad Seed." I feel dizzy. I better go lay down and regain my equilibrium.
Ouch, it gives me a headache!
She (?) is probably a beautiful child, but this perspective is just too strange. It would have been better to expose more of her in the reflection, if this is in fact a reflection and not a PS mashup.
Doesn't "move" me. It's weird but I am unmoved.
Don't get me wrong, it is an "interesting" photo, it just strikes me as strange.

Hmmmm... So it did move you...
