2.52 - "Solid" 

This image was taken at Curacao at a abandon Shopping Center that was never completed during construction at the area of Piscadera.

I was helping a upcoming photographer with his new gear and teaching him the basics of the exposure triangle, and he invited the model: Jada Rose to be a stand in model for the shoot/training.

At the end of the session, I asked Jada to model for me, and I handed her these two equal rectangular length mirrors and I asked her to hold it close to her face and give me a serious expression of confidence and determination, and I took this shot.

It took me a few shots to get the angles almost right. from which I chose this one as the best one, But during editing I saw that I cut the right hand a bit in my crop, so after color grading in Adobe Lightroom, I entered into photoshop and I used the other not so good shots and I reconstructed her right hand back by matching and aligning.
