A Delicate Balance

Fun and creative! However, the picture in general is a bit washed out. A bit of levels or curves adjustments (in PS if you have it) would help correct it.

Hah. Fun! I think a closer cropping would make the picture more exciting.

Vyer creative! I the cropping could be tighter so the top right and left corners include the plate. I also think a different color plate to show off the gold more might help.

Excellent image! I'm sure you're getting a few DNMC comments, but I think it does.

I find the refelctions to distracting. The aren't strong enought o be a strong part of the picture, but they aren't weak enough to really see the window display.

I like how this picture seems to be thinking a bit outside the box. This looks like a performance shot of some type, and I find the motion blur a little distracting. I'd recommend bumping up the iso, and/or opening your aperture up. Most performance photographer I know shoot a f/2.8 iso 800 minimum. The cropping is also a bit odd. I think cropping closer to the guy so his arm is cropped closer to his body will help. Good luck
