Good colous, but need more contrast and a bit less brightness, imo.

Heh. I gave this a 7. I know that cartoon well. In fact, I describe it trainings I give on Web design. :)

Congrats on the top 20 and a new personal best! I voted this a 7. :) I thought it was a great oxymoron and a cool picture.

The reflection looks fine to me, but if you want to try a perfectly clean reflection in the future, try to get a mirror with the reflecting material on the front. I've heard they're more expensive, though.

I agree with the folks about the textured background, but it's a minor thing. I use different-colored posterboard. You can also just set it up in a dark room far from any walls.

I think you'll get a 6+ shot soon. :)

Nice and bright. Less straight-on perspective and composition would be more interesting. Also the doubled-reflection from the mirror is annoying, consider using a polished black marble tile (available at Home Depot) for reflections at low angles.
