    It took me a while to decide whether there was a mirror there--I don't think so. I like the parallel figures and the seated guy, but the empty plastic chair and other stuff on the left don't add much, IMO. Perhaps if you had stepped to the right a bit you would have gotten a better image, dunno.

    The strength of the shot are the three guys and the entryway graphic. But the left half does ruin it -- perhaps a crop would help.

    I agree with the comments on composition. I was shooting from outside the building
    through the back door and couldn't position myself any better. I really dislike that
    chair. If I thought the photo was worth it, I'd take it out in PS but the photo really
    isn't that interesting to start with.

    Not that it makes a difference in this forum, but that day's shooting was all with
    one lens at one focal distance. It was a camera club exercise, and any zoom
    lenses had to be taped to one setting.

    Looks to me like three guys through the doorway doing Thai Chi or such simultaneous exercise movement while someone sits in the other room an meditates!

    A narrow vertical crop from the left to lose the chair along with a straightening would work. :D
