PS
I also noticed the 'time' connection (but not until after I had done the CCC & didn't have time to comment then). Just wanted to let you know that I did see that as well.

Critique Club Critique

First Impressions
An odd image, with a little abstract thrown in, along with some creativity, however the black dominates too much in my opinion.

Photograph Information, Technicals & Composition Review
I think your technicals are good, for it appears you were trying to achieve - perhaps trying to minimize that black background may have helped, somehow. I guess you wanted the laundry to be OOF and/or shallow, creating the abstract, however perhaps more focus on it may have driven a stronger message, who knows.

Comments, Score & Placement Review
96/125 is pretty low down the pack, I think this may have been a bit 'out there' for most. You have 'two in one' for the framing aspect of the Challenge, which is quite good - but still, for me, as mentioned, a little 'odd' overall. I didn't vote in this Challenge.

A total score of 7.5 from your three commentors shows that they did like it, despite one showing you their score of less than that.

Summary
Perhaps the angle of the mirror also made this a little strange and difficult for people to connect with - it wasn't strange enough perhaps, and 'next time', maybe the set up and/or execution may be improved and produce a stronger image.
