Finally I got time to tell about this picture. Hardest thing was to bring this 40kilo mirror in to the car totally allone, then to fasten it and protecten it from other cars that drove way to fast and blovin stones everywer.
I loved that people had to look to see that it was a mirror becouse I was aiming at that.

I think this really a great ideal, at first I thought there was no mirror. Which might have been a good ideal also, but then I was looking at the line up and seen the clouds looked quiet different and the line right below the frame. So I give you a 10 for making me look so hard :-)
This my favorite of the challenge. The simplicity of the idea is amazing and works very well. Contrast is a bit blown out in the real sky (not reflected sky) but that makes me want to focus more on the mirror and trace the lines. Not that I like overexposed skies but it's not as distracting here. Plus the frame forces the eye to look there and the color forces the eye even more. A solid 9 but since I love this shot so much, I'll give it a 10.
Hope someone was watching traffic while you took this. Nice lineup, other than it appears the top mid-ground line on the left (the last stretch of level land before the mountain) doesn't seem to line up with the correct line outside of the mirror frame. Very creative idea. Good luck with the challenge.
So very cleverly done. I think your use of desaturation and color works very well to point out the fact that part of the scene is in the morror, Great illusion
