Fascinating image… I like everything about it. Wonderful choice for the prompt this week.

I didn’t have all that much choice, actually, since I don’t have all that many selfies, but I did think of this one immediately…

I like the repeating image. Reminds me of sitting a barber’s chair when I was little and seeing my image repeated into infinity with the mirrors front to back.
LikeLike
Exactly! Who hasn’t been fascinated by something like that? And I note that at least two others responding to this challenge used the same idea :-)

I like that sort of repeating image. There used to be lots of places you could find three-section mirrors that allowed this or sometimes bathroom mirrors were opposite each other and you could see the repetition.

Also those bathroom mirrors that angle in multiple ways to allow simultaneous multiple angles of the same central subject, the photographer… I didn’t think of that for this challenge, but that must be the ultimate, narcissistic selfie :-)

Excellent…..

Great picture, love the fading effect in the two mirrors
LikeLike
It’s actually better that the corridor appears to curve—unintentionally, I am sure: they didn’t manage to set the two mirrors quite parallel to each other—which makes the photo a bit more interesting somehow… :-)
LikeLike
Yep, you are right, that explains the curve

Imposters! This can’t be Johna and Vlad. I have it on good authority that the lower half of their bodies are actually kayaks. There are no kayaks in this photo, which, btw, is excellent!

You’ve stumbled onto our secret! (I wonder what the ancient Greek name for a half-human, half-kayak being was?) I knew I should have used this photo instead, which leaves the lower half of our bodies to the imagination—
