Would you believe...half a banana? :P
Excellent lighting and great use of a unique idea. In the future, though, I would think about placing the ice chunk directly on top of the mirror. This will prevent us from seeing the "seam" where the mirror touches the ice (right now it looks a little cockeyed).
Great work! All the best!

The old handcuff key in the freezer trick (in my best Don Adams voice)... lol

I just love working with freaky dolls, this would be great! nice shot !

Sorry I have to agree with waz, we`d have to clean up the head before even thinking about using it....a little too much work for such a small usage.

Although I see this more as a nice (and weird ) image, I do think it can be used as stock photo too. I already see the Marlon Brando "Apocalypyse Now" look-a-like entries In this possible source contest . But yeah, the smoke is a bit distracting. Good luck!

As image it's nice, but not sure if it's usable as stock photo. It's not neutral enough, imo. That is, it's already that grunchy-like that I'm not sure what other things to do with. But then again, that's just my opinion. Good luck!

LMAO! So it's just the head of the barbie... and that's supposed to be comforting? :::playin with you of course:::

you put your barbie in ice? Now I'm scared. LOL

I never said it was unacceptable. I said it was weird. Weird is not always bad author! I'm weird.... so am I unacceptable or bad?

Very interesting!

Wonderful, unique and interesting! Definitely different!

Amazing!

I agree with robvdn, but this one is so weird, that I still think it would make a good stock photo.

this is weird :O

A good stockphoto should be clear, smoke and fog make the object unclear and therefor useless as one

you're welcome. this really is an awesome photo! glad you figured it out

Much better...GL

Great job Author! I know this website can be kind of picky and hard to understand at times but you'll catch on quickly enough.

Wonderful!!! Great photo. So glad you got it on theme because it is beautiful work! Good Luck!

after you convert it to black and white only, go to "my stuff" and then "my contest entries" and find the entry. click on "edit entry" Once there click on "browse" under "entry description" and browse for your new black and white photo. Once you find it and click on it, go down and make sure you click on the box that says "Also save full resolution image" and then click "save changes"
What happens is when you upload, pxleyes will resize the image so it fits nicely on the pages you see. But when you upload the high resolution, members can click on "Hi-res" and see the full sized photo, your original.
The guidelines are very specific here, so it is important to read the descriptions good and also check out the rules and guidelines for photography under the Help tab at the top.
Please don't leave though because your photo is very nice, it just has to be specific to the guidelines.

Just turn it to b&w author...it will still be as beautiful as it is right now.
All so a HIGH RESOLUTION would be nice ( for us to judge your work more closely ).

its still blue..haha watch it win. plus there is no high res..

Agree with ibmax and locksmagic

Author, please don't take offense. ibmaxed is just trying to help, he's right the contest guidelines ask for a black and white photo of a chair. Since there is some color here it's technically not black and white. To make sure this wonderful entry doesn't get pulled you should probably convert it to grayscale.

What do you mean unfriendly? i was only stating what the rules say, If it doesn't abide it will usually get red flagged and or removed by the mods. The image is nice but imho is not bw.

this is wonderful! gl.

The guidelines state BW, not duo tone or cross tone. Bw to me is simply BW ,no colour tone at all.

love it!

Doesnt look BW to me
