sprice: If I had my druthers, I'd have retaken it so that the whole mirror was in view. Other than that, I'm really happy with this shot.

cutler: Neat! The angles in this picture (particularly after you realize what you're looking at) are very cool. I think the fact that the mirror is a circle also really aids the composition. And Chuck's goofy, hair blown back, expression is priceless. (The irony, of course, is that [on our Sierra trip at least] it was always you hanging out the window with the goofy expression, but it is Chuck who gets captured on film [or is it CCD. . . is this the product of a digital camera?].)

tasha: Awww, wookit da happy puppy! The only thing that could have added to this would have been a tongue hanging out ; ].

cgroom: While I *do* look like a dorky happy puppy, I really like the composition of this picture, quite a lot, in fact. There are two backgrounds -- one blurry, the other to the right of the camera -- that do a marvelous job recreating the 3D space of a flat image. There are lines with cirles with lines. It's fun to look at. Now, off to photoshop a better face in there... ;)

tom: A closed mouth is a good thing, I think, when you're facing toward the direction of travel. Otherwise you might get a snack.

tasha: Hey, much protein to be had that way, man. ... Not that I would know anything about that ; ].

sprice: Chris: it's a (digital) Kodak DC290. Nice camera, though the click-to-capture lag time can be a real drag sometimes. Fortunately, Chuck was willing to stick his neck out for a bit longer for me.

sprice: Chuck: I really like the depth as well. I'm quite happy that the automatic focus didn't decide to look at my window or the mirror itself.

laura: I really like that a couple of words of the mirror's "closer than they appear" label are visible. The whole thing would make it a joke, and Gary Larson made the same one years ago; those couple are a neat touch of realism.
