Ok, I got a lot of people commenting on the focus and pointing me out to sharpen the image. The deal is I added a bit of Gaussian blur and that is the reason for the soft focus, but apparently people were not liking it... But I thought it was cool

Interesting idea; might have been better though if you had taken advantage of the diagonal, rather than the "vertical centric design". Also, glass does not look like it's in a natural breakage pattern, but rather laid out. Might have been really dynamic to break the glass and try to capture the action!

The main problem I have with this is that you are showing action without the action. It doesnt look like a natural position to find these items in, they look deliberately staged and so loses the impact of the 'shatter'. Understandable you didnt really want a hand in the shot, but had you held the hammer at a diagonal off into one of the corners it would have helped give the impression of being 'in action'.

Interesting concept. More defined shadows could make it more interesting.

focus! would be more interesting if it was more off center, perhaps at a diagonal, with the glass more scattered.

Nice photo. Only comment I have is that it appears a little soft... possibly a slight sharpen would help (for my personal preference).

Good idea. Good tones and composition. The focus is a little soft but it's not so very distracting. I like it.
