I'd like to see a tighter crop of what's in the mirror...or just turn around and shoot... the motorcycle/sun look awesome.

I especially like the light on the bike looking similar to the sun. Without the bridge and the biker you chould have had very different shot, but it depends on what 'feel' you want

you took my idea! ;-)

This is a very nice mirror shot. It breaks up the colours in a very interesting way. A cool way to take advantage of the difference in colour of the light in different directions during a sunset.

Nice view! I really like the added effect of the star flare on the motorcycle headlight in the mirror... good job!

I like the effect of having two color schemes -- nice job not letting the sun burn everything out -- did you have a filter?

i actually like the motorcyle behind you. that looks cool. you shoul dhave cropped in closer around the mirror.

This shot is truly beautiful. One of the most effective uses of light and color I've seen.

This is definately my favorite rear view mirror photo in this contest.

I like the motorcylce in the mirror. To me that small detail makes the shot so much better.

That's no the Highy Patrol comming up on you for distracted driving, is it? Nice take on a difficult Challenge.

Great use of exposure to keep detail in the background - the red bit (A-pillar?) in the top right is annoying though.

Very nice!

Interesting idea, but picture came out too dark.

With the window rolled up, extra point, and driving too, good trick. You are in a Pick Up with a bed liner. (i.e. wasting time trying to figure out what to say.)
I really like this effect, too bad you couldn't "play" with it more. The sun is much more indistinct than the other sun shot in this challenge. Sky colors are a bit unworldly, pink/yellow, does make the shot more interesting. Too bad you could wipe out the junk around the mirror (far background stuff).

That must be me coming up behind you on my Harley! Cool shot, well done.
06/10/2002 01:00:00 PM
I like the blue/orange color contrast.
06/10/2002 12:27:00 PM
THE best mirror shot this week by far. Good job!
06/10/2002 11:12:00 AM
Cool.. great thinking.
06/10/2002 08:53:00 AM
hmmm... you stole my idea! ...asshole!
