Self Portrait in shard

Bored on a chilly September night, decided to take a self portrait in the mirror mounted on the back of my garden shed.
(The shard of glass / broken mirror is mounted on the back of the shed door because I figured that if the mirror is still usable as a mirror I wouldn't get 7 years bad luck :-) )

Took some thinking to work out how to position the camera so it wouldn't appear in shot (eventually settled on using a shutter release cable for long exposure and a tripod).... No flash used, just the ambiant light from the kitchen.

P.S.:
I am not sporting a goatee!
I'm simply unshaven however the light source (ambient light from the kitchen) makes it look weird :-(
......As you may have guessed, I'm not a fan of the "goatee" :-S
