A Haunted Mirror Without a Ghost

I finally did it: I made a haunted mirror, except the mirror is haunted by a landscape instead of a face. I was immediately taken with the idea when I read Grace at Domythic Bliss's post on how to make a haunted mirror. The possibilities are just endless with this. So I decided to use one of my own paintings as the picture. I took a picture of this piece I did a while back:

... and turned it black and white.

I happened to have an antique frame I had redone and turned into a shadowbox that lent itself well to the image and fit the size of glass I had chosen as my mirror. Then I followed Grace's instructions and tada! Here's my haunted mirror. It looks marvelous in real life, but it was terribly hard to photograph. If I had a better camera and fancy lenses, I could have done a better job, but here are several photos so you can get an idea of it. It was incredibly easy to do too!
