ArtBob and Uuglypher - perhaps you could just agree to disagree?

I was hoping that others might be interested in some of the topics brought up. Love honest and sincere discussion.

I really liked this idea when the view first caught my eye. Later, as I worked on it, I began to understand why, and tried to pp that in. However, I do not want the strangeness of the photo to get in the way of its creating a feeling or thought in the viewer. That's where you can help me out with your response. Hope you have time.
Before commenting on the photo, I'd like to bring your attention to what might be obvious. This photo has spawned a rather animated dialog between you and Dave. Both of you have definite ideas about the work. Without the work, that discussion would never have occurred. Since discourse, even moderately contentious discourse, is usually a positive thing, the photo is a success.
I had to look at it for a long time before I realized it was a mirror and the reflection of a window. The fact that I did take the time to look long enough to figure that out is also a positive thing. I would not want it on my wall (that seems to be a deciding factor for many). I was further interested in the technical details you provided. I did not know, for example, that you could "spot meter" with a telephone camera. I assumed that they were set up to give you an average (perhaps center weighted) reading. You keep us thinking, Bob, and that might be the most positive aspect of this unique and rather intriguing photo.
