Either way, I think it is a lovely shot.

Personally, I won't try to flip my photo. The flipped version always turn out looking unnatural to me, even though other people may not be able to detect any difference.

This is psychology I guess.

I just feel uncomfortable looking at the flipped version, knowing right in my mind the left is not left and the right is not right.

But still, a nice shot you have there...

I know EXACTLY what you mean...

What adds to the irony is that the main subject is actually (literally) a mirror image, and the flipped image is closer to reality. Notice the words "barber shop" in the corner? Those were laterally inverted because they faced outwards.

Previously, I actually tried to identify the tell-tale sign (english words) to see which photo is the real thing. I couldn't make out what is that words which you now said is "barber shop".

Ok, so... is the second pic the unflipped version?
