Very interesting concept. I think if you had made this picture totally symetric and you had extended your arms(in sleeves of course) and had them slightly under the gloves it would of been better.

Love this one - very clever. Rule of thirds work very in this photo. I also like the square crop.

I'm guessing that since you used what looks like a wide-radius USM you know what you are doing. (BTW, there's a bit of a halo at the feet that's unfortunate) Sometimes Shadow/Highlights does that as well. Anyway, I don't think there are cloned sticks there, but I'm just not sure so I'm going to ask for validation. Look for it. 8

Comment by posthumous:
This is the kind of shot I don't normally like, staged with a single subject, but there are some subtle touches that really make this work: the narrow DOF on the face with creepy facial hair, the touch of gum to the nose, the womb-like shape of the bubble. 7 bump to 8
