I love the 'other-wordly' feel of this image, mirror shots rock and this is no exception! Guess you're driving east? :-)

isn't it fun to use the macro lens for non macro images? nicely done Roger! I love the details in the mirror.

I like how the mirror frames the image!

Interesting what we do out of desperation to enter a photo online :) I say that of course in fun, as this photo looks kinda fun too.

The texture, for me, makes this a bit more emotive than had you left it out.

Very unique perspective...mirror shots are always cool to me. I love the "in the moment" feel of the image. :)

Oooooh. . .I love that circular framing around those pretty blues. No, indeed: Not a bad desperation submission :) Great job!

It would actually make a pretty decent cover for a country music CD. I like the light poles. I'm undecided about having that much of the truck itself in the shot, but also can't see where to crop it either.

I originally was going to dismiss it as a poor shot then read about the texturing and it became more interesting. Now I notice the sunset too. Because of this I'm not sure it really stands on its own though (the subject isn't that interesting) but the write-up and process helps.

Sometimes what you've left behind is far more interesting than what's ahead of you. Great shot!!!
