What do you like?
Beautiful shot, very nice composition and I love the colours. Nice way to make a quite common subject (sunset) more original and unique, with the mirror.

I would be tempted to edit the blurred coloured shapes outside of the mirror so that it's just completely black outside of the mirror (even on the cropped version). That's just my style though, it looks great without having to edit much.

Great picture, I actually have one similar to this that I took last year. It's amazing sometimes what you can see if you simply take the time to look behind you.

I definitely think that cropping the photo helped the overall feel of the photo, it really leads your eye to the sunset.

Hi all!. Thanks a lot for the FBs! The original plan was to frame the path ahead with mirror showing the path behind. Unfortunately the point I got the best sunset shot was in deep shadows (it's a tunnel entrance) and lacked details. I then cropped it to frame the mirror but I do like to keep the 3:2 ratio, so the line remained. The dirty mirror (in fact the whole car was dirty) was intentional as I'd like to create the idea of a long travel, going on for days. Here's the re-cropped revision.

What do you like?
I love the idea of the photo, seems like a difficult shot but you nailed it! I also love the rough look of the photo, it doesn't look sharp and over edited.

maybe remove the grey line from the background, as it is slightly out of place.

Great idea and execution. That bright sky really draws you in to the picture…love it!

Might be tempted to crop the right hand side a bit more

This is a great shot and a great idea. Because of all the different reflections you got loads of different angles. Your eye is drawn to the sun first, then the mountain and then finally the more modern buildings ad the car. It really is interesting stuff!

The only thing I can think of is that the mirror looks a little dirty and would have made for a bit of a better photo ;)
smmurtaHi, Anya. I did crop the background out in the revision I posted (just below), I think it is more like you suggested. Thanks for the feedback!
