What a great find.

4. It's kind of neat that it's a photographer's atelier reflected in the mirror.

The name of it is "Photo et Graphie".

Glad you like it!

2. Fabulous!

Could you save the mirror? Great prop.

3. Thanks!

The mirror was gone by the time I came back.

You're right, it is a great prop! One could easily make one's own :)

7. What gets me about this one is the

total incongruency of the life in the mirror and the deadness of the corner. I like how they flow into each other with the reflection of the floor.
I would like to see a bit more of the corner, right and left, to make it a bit less long, but I could be so wrong and it might mess with perfection.
A really winning shot, this is !!!!

8. I know what you mean, Mira.

It was a very spontaneous shot, and at the moment I took it, as the lady walked by, I was so close to the mirror that I had to frame it vertically in order to get the entire thing in the picture. So, I didn't have much more right and left to work with.

I tried cropping it a few different ways using only part of the reflection, to give it more breadth and less height, but ended up showing the entire reflection.

What do you think of this way of cropping it... :hi:

9. THANKS for taking me seriously, and thanks for trying.

I did not know it, but the top part was important to me, I think it is because it reminds me of being a child in Vienna and the overall image obviously was the full charm. It loses massively in the crop, but then, who knew.
I appreciate it my friend.
