Question How did you not show up in the reflection in the mirror? dllu (t,c) 23:01, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
Answer The explanation is given in the {{Retouched}} template, in the file page : The camera and its tripod reflected in the mirrors have been deleted in post-process. To achieve this purpose, two pictures have been taken from different positions, targeting the same direction. Then, both images have been superimposed and the content replaced in each. -- Basile Morin (talk) 23:39, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

- Support Very good technical and compositional realization of the Droste effect. Thanks for the nomination. -- Radomianin (talk) 09:04, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
- Support Fascinating, I wouldn't have imagined you could get this effect without using bellows or a tilt-shift lens! Do you mind letting me know if I got your method right: 1) you took two images, both centred on the mirror, one with the camera in the middle of the room, one with the camera slightly shifted (to the left, judging by the slight offset in the reflection?); 2) you used the first image for the room and the second one for the reflection? --Julesvernex2 (talk) 11:42, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks! Yes, exactly, you got everything right, except for the slight offset in the reflection, which is probably caused by imperfect alignment of the mirrors opposite each other, rather than by camera shift. The second image is used just to compensate for the small area where the camera appears through the mirror. This involves “filling” this part with the (hidden) furniture or sink. The offset of the contour of the door or the wooden table opposite is not impacted.-- Basile Morin (talk) 12:11, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
- Ah, I had wrongly assumed that the camera was completely off the reflection on the second image (probably not even possible, given the wide focal length), but I get it now. Nice, I need to try this out :) --Julesvernex2 (talk) 12:30, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you both for question and explanation. --Aristeas (talk) 18:34, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Oppose The open doors make me uncomfortable, especially the one on the right that seems more prominent, but what makes me feel negative is the trash can under the sink cabinet, it seems to be in an inappropriate place and without an apparent function, it makes me uncomfortable. --Wilfredor (talk) 06:38, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry, but I don't get your point about the trash can. This is where you find trash cans in hotel rooms usually - if I am looking for one in a hotel room, I look under the sink first. This is where most people need it - be it for tissues, for packaging of hygenic items, or other stuff. Why do you think it is an inappropriate place? Kritzolina (talk) 13:02, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose I hadn't bothered looking at this in detail, but I agree with Wilfredo. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:40, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Wilfredor. -- Karelj (talk) 21:06, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- Support Neither the trash can nor the open doors take away much from the image, imo.--UnpetitproleX (Talk) 10:30, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Support I love the infinite mirror reflection effect. --Giles Laurent (talk) 08:37, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- Support per Giles. The combination of two exposures to remove camera/tripid is done very well – an excellent example. --Aristeas (talk) 18:30, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
- Support Fun and well executed. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:10, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
Neutral I'm not going to stick my neck out and oppose because I appreciate that you try to provide us with different content that we don't normally see at FPC and I think it should probably pass for that reason. But the overall lack of symmetry in what lends itself to being a symmetrical composition bothers me Cmao20 (talk) 18:18, 21 December 2023 (UTC)- Support --RodRabelo7 (talk) 21:46, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
