I like the way the angle adds an ambiguous twist. You are drawn in by the tapering of the curtains, the mirror reflects nothing but the curtains. You search for an external reference. A really brilliant shot.

Wonderful reflection of the curtains and window in the mirror, and I like the dark frame in which it's presented.

I love flowers on the left of the curtains. The mirror reflecting the light and the curtains. It is wonderful.

This one makes me feel real good! What a precious & beautiful picture, Grant. Makes a small man feeling big. All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

The light from the window and the flowers embroidered in the net curtain are beautiful! The shot as a whole with the mirror has a decadent feel, it reminds me of stills from really early silent movies.

A mirror not reflecting much except the light - love the shapes and the strong dark and light combination.

Kind of an odd spot for a mirror. Well seen.

The reflection of the window sash in the mirror makes the mirror look like it has some depth. Very nice B & W!

When I was a kid my mother had a mirror seemingly identical to this one. Marvelous shot Grant!

the mirror on a table is unexpected but very pleasant. i like this one a lot - especially the details like the lace under the mirror, the flowers on the curtain and the window panes reflected in the mirror.
this image feels feminine in the same way your next image feels masculine.

Looks like an antique. Looks very delicate.
