    I love this but think it would be perfect with the mirror cropped out. Still a wonderful shot.

    I have to agree with Jeff about the mirror. This is an AMAZING shot as is, though!

    I'll add my voice to Jeff and Rachel. This would be perfect without the mirror.

    OK, I agree, but it's still a lovely shot. You have a unique and subtle aesthetic sensibility. Not prone to cliche.

    Very nice capture. I can smell the earth and the trees. The two figures make the pastoral scene perfect and give it great scale. I have to agree about the mirror. It is an unnecessary distraction from a great photo.

    This reminds me of how things have been for my grandparents. My grandma passed away this year but she could have easily been a character on this photo. It's a gorgeous Aurora. Thumbs up! Maja

    great photo. I love that with photography you can take a picture and to the left or right is a whole other scene. the mirror is part of that other scene and no it is good for a smile and laugh.
