To Observe Man

This photo struck me as soft, and I think most of it is due to the use of excessive JPEG compression. Your file size of only 46k indicates a highly compressed image and that is what is robbing a lot of the detail and sharpness from this image. Check your compression settings when you save your file. Always adjust JPEG compression so that your file size is as large as possible, but within the challenge limit. (150k for this one)

The composition of the bust in the frame is also a problem. It leads my eye out of the picture, rather than into it. The man in the mirror does not seem like anything other than that he happened to be there when you took the shot.

Nice and contrasty. Lots of mono "oomph" here, though It's not grabbing me at all. Not sure why.

Ugh...down to the nasty cheap stuff...

Great idea! Sorry I missed it in voting. I like your location description as well.

They reflect....and they decorate

This is almost certainly in reality, a bright red. I think your saturation really needs to come up, and different lighting or a different angle might have helped as well.

Nice gleaming metal tones. The sepia works well here.

I've seen a few other automobile mirrors in this challenge already, but this one made me look twice. It appeared to be a single scene with a black shadow across it, until I looked closer.

Not sure what to make of this. I've been looking at it for a few minutes and I'm not sure if it is understated creativity, or just an odd view.

A nice perspective view, and those great swoopy clouds that tend to go with lots of high scoring shots. Seems a little soft or flat, somehow. I think some easy editing adjustments could bump this up quite a bit.

Gee, thanks, now I'll have the Bee Gees stuck in my head for the rest of the afternoon!

The photo itself is only ok, I'm afraid. I think perhaps a different angle, or some adjustments to bring out the reflected colors may have helped.
