If you could have contrived to make this actually look like a door or a window it would have been very effective. Perhaps you could do it with PS later. Good luck

Very creative, but I think it would have been a little more convincing if the mirror had been lined up with the structure a little better. Also the lens flare? in the upper window is unfortunately a little distracting

Very cool idea. If the mirror were parallel to the vertical slats of wood rather than the base (horizontal) wood, I think it would blend in even better. I don't really care for the angle of the pic, but perhaps it was necessary in order to achieve that trick with the mirror? The glare that lands in the black space at the top is distracting, hard to get rid of in basic though.

Awesome. The only thing that I would want is just a little more balance (level/brightness wise) in the shot. I'd love to see a bit more definition in the building (not too much, so that the sunset in the mirror still pops like it does) but just so that it doesn't appear to be too dark/underexposed. Very nice.

Nice concept and well done for the most part. Something about it made me check the file size, though. You could have probably used less compression and gotten a bit more detail into this. Your file size is 101k and you had 150k to play with. For a very detailed subject like this barn, you should utilize all the file size you can.
