The subject seems too far to the left, Makes the image seem lopsided.

pretty funny. Bit over saturated and oversharpened for my taste, but the expression is great!

I bet you were gutted you couldn't somehow cut the other people out - hmm, maybe it works that way. I don't know. Not the most helpful comment then.

Too much going on in the image that distracts from the subject, who isn't sharp.

I like what you were attempting here. The man is definitely has a look of longing or adoration on his face. Unfortuantely, the ice sculpture and the loudspeaker smack dab in the center are hard to overlook. Not a lot you can do about that except perhaps move a little to the right and take the shot at a slight angle. At least then the two distractions wouldn't completelly overlap as they are now. Lowering the viewpoint a couple of inches to include more of the audience would have helped. As they are now, they are distracting blury details (particularly the bald head). Including a bit more of them would have made a nice contrast with the man who is facing the opposite direction but also has his eyes fixed on the model. Lowering the viewpoint and cropping that inch of space above the model's head would have put him on an even higher plane than the audience and reduced that large chunk of blue in the upper right to a less important chunk of blue. High marks because I like the moment you captured in the man's expression.
