Capturing this accidental moment in front of a broken mirror created a wonderful image, interesting to look at and thought-provoking at the same time.

I'm especially drawn to the contrast of the acute angles created by the shattered mirror and your left arm in an arc over your rounded head as if to hold it together against the shattering forces.
