nah... if it was just a mirror shot by itself it might be more interesting but since its half and half, it does nothing. For me, its either shoot without mirror or shoot with mirror.

intriguing how it appears you are driving straight toward the cars in front of you, but i think it's just your camera angle right?

cool photo

I disagree with RadAl, I think the shot has more potential. I think not only does it give two distinct shots, but it also give you a feeling of being surrounded by traffic. Interesting concept.

Thanks for the comments. The photo was taken when I was trying to make a entrance to a jammed freeway, with the mirror showing the cars jammed behind mine. I thought showing both would make it to appear more jammed. Does this make sense?

Does this make sense? Yes, but in a newspaper, the shot needs some context, like a caption to make sense to viewers. Otherwise it looks like the driver is about to give someone a very bad day? ;)

So, for your purpose, I like it.

Thanks for all the comments.

I was trying to capture the jammed traffic with the photo. However, it may have left an impression that I was an reckless driver with my car almost banging into the SUV in front of me.
