I don't think it needs to be any sharper -- this degree of softness suits the mood and composition just fine.

Maybe you'll consider adding it the the Blur Gallery as well as the B&W. ;-)

I went back to look again, and I notice that the topologically the mirror frames and the vertical crack form a peace sign ... :-)

With the curving limbs, there's also a suggestion of the Yin/Yang symbol.

Beautiful and sad. For the depths of its mystery, I give this a Posthumous Blue Ribbon.

Interesting. I'd love to see something a bit more in focus in the shot, but I have no where to focus when I'm looking at the shot. I think the concept is a great use of mirrors.

This image is too dark to tell what is going on, maybe some contrast, 6.
