Comments and Crit Please?

Hi all, I took this in barcelona last week, it's a spontaneous 'action' shot - any comments on how I can improve/build on this?



Thanks - link to photo below

I'm a bit confused about this shot , is it trying to tell me something or is it a candid portrait .

Also I would be interested in the processing that you applied to it .

I think that's a really interesting image. I'd crop the bottom heads off though.

[P.S. Use the "inset image" icon to display your photo. Have a look here for how to ..]

weird if you look at the person in the chair the back of the head looks like its a real person but the reflection in the mirror looks like a cartoon

Thanks for your comments. It's simply a shot that I took when wandering round one evening, and when I came to look at it in Photoshop I sharpened it up [I used Topaz Detail], played around with the colour saturation a bit and really liked it. It is simply a candid portrait; I think it almost has the look of a still from an obscure film. It is unapologetically strange!
