Default Hall of mirrors

This was a fun shot - taken during our local children's science center's adult night. Thank you for your input.

Mirrorscape

BTW- the larger size probably has better impact.

You have a good eye for the abstract. The shot is exceptionally steady for the 1/8 second shutter speed. Composition is excellent with you in the lower left hand corner leading one into the maze. I don't think I have ever seen a shot quite like this one. ISO 800 produced good results with respect to noise. Did the camera process some noise out of the image or did you run it through a noise lessening program? Nice work! Thanks for sharing your image with us.
Sincerely,

Thank you clockdoc.

I took 4 images in the mirror room at a children's museum before more people walked in and spoiled my shot. This one did have a better composition than the other two - there were no great focal points, underexposed, etc. At ISO 800 the D40 is pretty good, and i usually use my strap to tension the camera to help prevent blur at slow speeds until i can get a nice VR lens.

I posted a post-processing walk through in the before and after section, here.
