Some nice manipulations there.....but I have to admit these kind of pictures only have a novelty appeal to me.

I agree with Matt.
Also I can't help but thinking that it would be more interesting if you had two different photos for your mirrors so that people would be in different positions but the structure would be mirrored.

Thanks for the comments. No manipulation here guys. It's all done in camera with one of its filters - the mirror filter. Hence, the same reverse image. And yes, I agree that this kind of photography can become passe' after the novelty is gone. I just liked the lines and the symmetry in the picture created by the mirror effect. I used the same effect with my two feet to make a heart a few weeks back.

i reckon it's a cool treatment to turn a ordinary photo into something that holds the eye for more than 3 seconds. Nicely done zafra.

Which camera has a mirror filter built in?

Thank you Biggerry.

Matt, the Nikon COOLPIX S3700. It's my pocket camera, apart from my iPhone, and it always travels with me. It's not an SLR, but I find it easier to take pictures without calling too much unwanted attention, less heavy and has better picture resolution than the mobile phone. As you can see, the picture is taken in a shopping centre where they normally don't allow you to use an SLR, a tripod etc. I just used the camera and a hand rail and I composed the picture in camera. It is very difficult to create the same effect with two different pictures using a cheap pocket camera and without a tripod in a shopping centre. Using the same mirror filter:

P.S. When I said no manipulation, I meant out of the ordinary adjustments e.g. sharpening, contrast, colour or cropping.
