Side perspective of the sideview mirror belonging to my husbands 1984 pickup truck. I chose the sideview mirror because it had a smaller mirror imbedded in it so you can see many things around you at different sizes. Took the shot early evening with a polarizer purple-orange cokin filter that I held up manually to the lens. Then I
opened in photoshop
adjusted the curves slightly
played around with the hue/saturation
a little USM
and then resampled for the web.

The cool purple and the fiery yellow/orange creates a nice contrast. The focus is sharp so you can see many details. Bravo, for finding an interesting and beautiful photo in everyday objects. I love the colors and this photo would look nice on a wall with a frame like focuspoint said.
This may not be for many people but it instantly caught my attention. I love the tone in this, I'm not sure if a filter was used to grab those wonderful purple colors or how that was accomplished but it has a very abstract/modern neon thing going that I think really really works with the explosion of shapes you've captured here. The clarity is great, nice use of the natural light and I love composition for the most part. The one thing I do wish is that it could've been composed so that gap in the top where the trees aren't cover was not there - either they'd be visible through the window/reflected in something else so they have the purple/yellow toning too or just composed so they aren't in the image at all. Still that's a fairly minor issue. I'm bumping up from a 7 to an 8 and adding a favorite.
Sorry, I don't care for the lsd inspired post processing in the least. A lot of nice reflections here that might have been interesting. Looks like the sky might be blown out but who can tell given the extreme color shifts here. I think this could have been a nice shot.
