Kyle,

Is that you reflected in the mirror? If so the perspective is . . .
interesting. With a normal lens the angle that the mirror appears to be
in would put the reflected photographer to the right of the shooting
photographer (look at the bottom of the mirror to see what I mean). But
I guess not in this case since he (you) is/are standing on a sidewalk.
Assuming it is you then I suppose it's a keystoning effect, but it's
strange to look at.

Still, a nice shot.
