A very unique submission-- I like that! Good job matching the black border with the mirror border. Excellent composition. The ONLY complaint I have is the content of the detailed part of the mirror. It's not as breathtaking as the rest of the photo makes me want it to be (not really your fault anyhow), but it is what accomplishes the vanishin-point challenge-ness of your entry. That's all that's holding me back from giving you a perfect 10. Great job!
The framing that blends in with the mirror makes for a wonderful abstract shape. The bold black color makes your eyes focus in on the smaller blindside mirror.Colors are very vibrant and is the final touch to a great shot. "10"
The thick black borders of the mirrors combine with your border to create an illusion of a stained glass window. The blurred colours in the main section add to that feel. The exposure of the segment in the smaller round mirror are a little dark and unfortunately not hugely interesting in terms of content. That said I think this is a really creative idea and you deserve kudos for the unique perspective.
I gave this photo a 3. It took me a long time to figure it out. I like the vanishing point showing up in the mirror and the blurred look you got in the forground, but the solid thick black frame that appear to be as thick as the black around the edge of the larger mirror is distracting. It looks as if the bottom and right of the picture is suppose to be cut out.
needless to say, this is one helluva interesting image! i like ur idea, and i love the ways all the colours sort of blend in, and at the same time u managing to focus on the vanishing point. good job. 8
i thought about using my side mirrors, but i would have never been able to achieve what you did. excellent... and i love the border, too. 10... this is a work of art.
Nice composition, I like the strength of the black lines. THe corner of the other car visible in the mirror is a bit distracting, but otherwise it's great. good color and focus, too.
Really sharp and a strong composition. I think the frame is just a bit too heavy, but understand why you went that way. To be ultra-picky the appearance of the tail-light at the bottom right of the round mirror bothers me. Overall, a real attention grabber.
WOW! This is an incredible image. By far the best rear view image I've ever seen. I'm curious to know if it came out of camera basically like this or if this is creative post-processing. Either way, it doesn't matter to me cause this really works. The complimentary colors are perfect as well. A top shot. 10
