A wonderful abstract like image so very well observed and photographed, the monochrome processing and square format work particularly well adding to the quality of the final outcome.

Great work Moira.

This jumped right out the screen at me. Layers of reality, a mosaic of life.

We like that you didn't fill the frame. Nice touch.

your town abounds in split personalities - a sign of the times, i'm afraid

Ah but the original shop fitters didn't fill the frame, the blank squares were part of the set-up, and the wall was black...
Thanks Alan / Alfred, I'm amazed at how this one has taken off.

Thanks again folks, and thanks to Ken and John for their UAs.

I think it's down to the mirrors being not quite flat on the wall - that shows up in the distortions between them. I took several shots but no selfie appears in any of them.
(This is actually cropped down from a larger file, I didn't have a longer lens with me at the time. So that may also account for the exclusion. I went back a couple of days later with 200mm but by then the window had been whitewashed over).

Observing a simple thing like mirror tiles has produced such a good image. The way you have presented it makes it so a striking. Excellent.

A reflection of a healthy community spirit, keeping the heart of a small town alive with shops is so important.

Dali would have liked this....reminds me a little of "Apparition of the Face of Aphrodite". Very surrealist in style.

I want to start moving those mirror tiles around to make the whole picture make sense - like one of those small frames with numbered tiles and one empty space we had as children...
