Comment by DrJOnes:
I doubt this is legal since it is obvious two shots were used to make this final photo. Never the less, nice idea and well done!

To me the reflection is telling the story and I find that a rather unique take on the usual "kid at aquarium" shot. Since the actual people are blurry and overexposed, I might have been tempted to crop them out. That would have brought up the perceived quality of the shot and made a definitive statement as to the intentions of the photographer. I might have tried taking it at a different angle to use the waterline as a natural frame for the picture.

The reflection is awesome. Too bad the other parts of the image are blown out. I bet you could work with it and even out the darks and lights. Good luck.

The reflection in the glass is a very nice touch, it's what makes this photo. But the overall photo seems just a little washed out and a bit fuzzy, but the composition is very nice.

Comment by kevrobertson:
nice idea
a bit too much like a snapshot to be a great picture, but still a very good picture.
Good luck

Comment by drgsoell:
The composition is good, but the bottom of the shot is too washed out with the light.

Comment by Glacierwolf:
You desaturated too much of the dress while doing the other colors. You lost some of the R/G/Y color components that would have made the dress seem natural and real.

This is a very nice black and white shot, and IMHO the color in the dress doesn't add much. I think that rendering the whole woman in color would improve the effect dramatically.

I like the effect created here. I think that the subject isn't quite "interesting" enough to hold me for long, and a little more sharp contrast in the B & W portion may have increased the impact possibly.
