is the focus of the photo supposed to be the i-pod or the reflection? the title leads my eye to the i-pod...

This doesn't do much for me. The reflection and background are of a nondescript room. The only person in the shot is reading a book. The whole image is static. I don't even get the impression that the guy is listening to music. The reflected image is a bit cluttered. Maybe having the guy dancing to music would have added a dynamic element that would have tied into the iPod subject better.

I like the reflection on the TV. For me, had you cropped in tighter just around the tv itself I would have scored this higher. Nice iPod, but for me, it doesn't do much for your reflection entry.

Reminds me of a scene in the movie Signs. Unlike many other pictures I've seen in this challange I like the idea but the picture is lacking. Not sure how to express myself but the colors are kinda dull. You get an above avarage 6 from me.

This one is interesting because I don't seen how you could have taken it without seeing the camera in the reflection. Do you have any sort of picture of your setup? Also, nice Bose speakers ;)

Clever

this could be seen as a contrast between the modern technology of the tv & the ipod against the backdrop of the drapes and the abat-jour, but i feel like reading way too much into the shot. whether or not that (or another) is the idea, imo the shot itself is not powerful at all. all the ambient light and extra objects in the room make it look ordinary.
