Not sure I like the converging angle in the building on the right, the mirror is a nice detail though!

This so far has been the most unique perspective of abstract with a person. Love it.

I think Black and White is black and white... not any shade of yellow or red... or anything other than pure black and pure white... and lesser degrees of those to give the tones. In a Monochromatic challenge... or Duotone challenge ... this would definitely work.

Haven't you heard...? Orange is the new Black.

This image has caused me to stop and pay attention. That means it is in my 7-10 voting band. (Voted earlier)

Additionally, it is highly interesting/eclectic meaning it keeps me here long enough to offer a longer comment and a vote of 8 or more.

This is one of my 8s - I like it. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:

1. I love the 'aha' moment the mirror offers and thus the humanity that is levered into the scene.
2. I admire the prominence of the expanse of sky.
3. I love that overhang at the top.
4. The slightly flat tones serve your composition perfectly.
5. The wide-angle induced 'dutch angle' is highly effective.

Eclectic and bold. I like it a lot.
