Description
This is a mirror maze in Frankenmuth, Michigan and the illusion of a tunnel or halway is really all reflections. The little person you see at the end of the hall/tunnel is actually my relection as I was taking this picture!Critique and comments are EXTREMELY welcome!

I love a mirror maze, but in my country don't have one.
And you at final of the corridor/tunnel seems to me how lost we are in this world.

I'm sure there must be one somewhere... You probably just don't know about it.

I really want that your words turn on real, but I don't know how.
At this moment, I leave any hopes to find something that it makes me smile again.

Looks fun! The only thing I'd be worrying about would be walking into the mirrors! lol

there is just this level of perfection i get from this [wow. if that was very confusing, let me know and i will try and to rephrase it]
just the angle you took it at was excellent. and i love how vague you are at the very end of the tunnel just adds a "who is that girl at the end?" mystery kind of thing.
wonderful work.

I looked at this for a while, and not just because it's tricky
Shots like this usually are, both to create and capture, but also to convey... and I think you've done all that and more here. I don't know if you got this right on your first try, or if it took a few shots to get everything the way you wanted, but I can't imagine it being any more perfect than what you've shown here. I used to love these things when I was a little boy, and seeing this brings back great memories.
In a way, it's almost like you've captured an image right from Dali's head and visions...

Thank you very much for the wonderful comment!
I took this photo when I was first starting to be interested in photography. I had a point and shoot camera and was basically taking photos of everything on this trip. I only took this one in the mirror maze though. I sometimes wish I could go back though and try to re-take it with a better, higher resolution camera.

you are very welcome for the comment! I think taking this as you were first getting interested in photography makes a great story, and shows your eye for shots at an early stage!
I know how you feel about wishing you could go back and re-take certain shots now knowing all you do currently. There are tons of my own that I would kill to have a new opportunity at knowing what I do now!

No, they are just lightbulbs... Having candles in a mirror maze might get dangerous, especially if people who are lost would accidentally bump into them.
I'm glad you like it!

I like the lighting and subject but the angle's a little unusual. I think I would've prefered to see more of the corridor on the right. Excellent photo, though

Woah... I'd love to go wandering around in one of these again. You've managed to capture the colours really well here!

Wonderful shot. I don't think anybody would have caught on that it was a hall of mirrors
if you hadn't said so.
That tinge of greenish-aqua off in the distance in the "hallway" gives in an almost
underwater, maybe even Atlantean feel to it.

Great shot, although the noise is a bit high (or is it just compressed a bunch?). Lower ISO and a tripod would work, except for seeing the tripod way off in the back.

This is an old shot that I took with a 3.2 megapixel camera before I even understood what ISO was or owned a tripod. I leave it here because people like it, but I agree about the noise. It bothers me as well and I could never make a real high quality print of this piece. I suppose it just stays here as part of my "early" work.

Believe me, I know how you feel on that.

I don't have it bigger because I'm paranoid about people stealing my work. Sorry.
