IMHO the house should have been cropped out, nice idea, different.

Would have been even better without the house in the background! I like the still action here. Super!

you shouldn't have called this trampoline. it would have been funny to try to figure out how this was achieved. it's funny that it looks like he's almost standing on the roof, or maybe jumping off it, but he's way too big. lol

There really isn't much I can offer in the way of suggestions for improvement here. This is just a really wonderful image.
If I HAD to be picky picky, I'd suggest trying to remove some more lint from the hood. There are a few straggling pieces on there.
Otherwise, Not really much I can say.
The angle and framing/cropping is perfect. I love how you have caught the part of the face in the reflection. This is what really makes the shot for me.
Focus and clarity are great. Awesome detail in the hood, and the knife and the reflection.
I like how you have the person to the right and the knife to the left. I think that this makes for a really great visual appeal.
The duotones work perfectly here as well. I do not think that color would have worked as nicely. The reflection would seem odd if had been in color, I think.
Nothing more to add. Simply Great.

Composition - A pink tulip! wow I can't say I've ever seen one of these. My last submission for primary colors was 2 tulips, of mixed colors. I had red and white ones in my backyard, but not pink! I think this one had just a little too much breathing room. I'd have cut some off the left side. I think it might have been a better option if the picture was just a shade crisper. I'm not so sure pink and green count as complimentary colors, but for the sake of argument, we'll say they are. Conceptually it is very good and this is a good flower for it...Nice straight stem.

Technical - Just a pinch off on the focus. That little bit matters a lot in macros though. That's obvious though, I'm sure I'm not telling you anything there. Maybe a tripod was in order for this shot. The exposure is right on and the DOF is great with it being so shallow. The colors all look nice and bright and there's no obvious oversharpening or saturation. It's all in the focus that I find any problems.

Overall - After thinking about the crop, you did the right thing. IF this were pin sharp, then I think it would've been in your best interest to crop it a little tighter. Since it isn't, I think you're best off as it is. Its a good shot, and works conceptually, but it just wasn't pulled off as clear and clean as it could've been. Best of luck - Bob
