Mirror, mirror

I co-opted this couple into helping me with this shot. The mirrors are on a set of columns inside of an abandoned store. I was shooting through a less than clean window.

How could I make it better?

Nice use of mirrors.
I'm surprised the closest reflection is less sharp, less contrasty, than the one further away.

I may have used the second mirror as my focal point. I will head back downtown later today and try it again using the first mirror for main focus and play around with dof.

Thanks for the kind words.

nice shot and great cooperation from the couple you did a awesome job.

Other than perhaps a small crop from the top to the upper edge of the second mirror frame I see little about this to improve.

Great idea and a lot of fun.

I like it.

Very novel idea
and ... nicely executed

Nicely done! I bet those folks want a copy. Great opportunity to make something out of nothing. I would burn in the shadows in the background to make the clutter less prominent and I agree with MB's crop suggestion, but overall a very strong image.

The positive comments and suggestions are all very much appreciated. I will head back to PS and play around with the shot. And, yes, the "models" did want a copy.

Is this what you had in mind?

I actually liked the clutter inside the shop, showing it was disused, the burned one looks good too.
