Silhouette

Playing around with the my GX7 and took a shot of the back of my head using my phone. The marvels of technology, eh?

Graphically speaking very cool in terms if
layout, effect in glass and contrast.

The story telling is thin IMO… what if he
was reading a book or newspaper?

Thanks. Fair point on the storytelling, although the story in reality was that "he" was struggling to look at his phone screen from the corner of his eye to take the shot while still keeping his head aligned so his spectacles would be in shot. I'll try holding a book or something on the next attempt.

Yes, I was laughing at the trouble you must
have had to take the shot reading the intro.

Nevertheless, the picture is the picture… and
I had to fake being very serious while writing.

Where did you get this crazy idea, very cool!

Thanks. It was just a thought that popped into my head while thinking about the features on the GX7. The original intention was to expose for the side of my face and blow the highlights in the window, but when I saw the silhouette in the viewfinder image on my phone I decided I liked that idea better. The refracted image of the blinds in my glasses was a happy accident.
