I think what really makes this picture stand out is all of the colors you have going on in there. The wires also add a little bit of interest. Good pic.

Hmm I don't much care for the wire mesh infront of this glass. The Texture of the glass looks great, adnt eh colors behind it are wonderful. The wire mesh takes away form this image I think.

Very well done, I like the way you have the lighting on this photo, seems to accentuate it nicely.

I'm really not sure why there's all that black space at the bottom, but a tighter frame would definately help here. I like the middle shot, because the captured expression seems the most authentic, and it seems to be the most genuine representation of the person (who I'm guessing is you). Maybe instead of different expressions this could have been done with different zooms or angles instead. I do like the extreme contrast effect, and how you worked the background into it. The abstract result works well. 7 (mostly for the center frame)

A littel more black space on the top would have helped!
Zoom out image one a littel bit, that may bring in more harmony as the amount of white has increased in image three.
It makes me think! I like it..

i love how you've blown it out with the bright lights around the boots themselves. creates a great contrast with their darkness, and the wood that can be seen from the shadows and beyond the light is great too! very creative, I really like how you've set this shot up. well done!
