I really like this on many levels. The colors are wonderful, the mirror adds more interest to the shot and it is obvious that this is in a store. I think that the subject is getting lost, though. It would not have harmed this shot to sacrifice some of the vegetables for a tighter framing of the grocer...the mirror would still give you depth. Plus the lighting on the grocer's face seems off, there are a lot of shadows around his eyes.

nice photo however, I think it would have been better if the reflection of the guy had been cropped out and if it had ben straightend just slightly.

It seems like you oveplayed the environment and underplayed your subject.

not a bad shot but he's a backdrop to the produce, would like to see it other way round.

This is an extremely busy shot. the foreground (fruit and signs) are too dominant in this shot and the guy is almost lost in the background. The reflection is somewhat distracting (especially since it shows his balding patters). The lighting, which I assume is just store lighting, is coming from the top right (his left). but he is facing the opposite direction, which ends up with a dimly lit face...4

good colors , but there just isnt enough of the subject in the frame for me, I do like the second image of him in the mirrors but the fellow seems a bit lost in his enviroment.

The mirror distracted me a little.

lots of circles, his head, the fruit, the signs. I think this could have been improved with a more direct gaze from the subject. Not always necessary but I think it would have grounded him the frame - as it is, I want to see who or what he is looking at.

Love that smile! The busy surroundings really draw you in. I like what you've done with this one. Basic editing worked well for you with this scene.

Great environment. Composition is a little to smack in the center for me. Also... need to get him looking at the camera.

Nicely executed, although the mirrors got me dizzy for awhile they really make the shot.
