Mirrors in New Orleans

[Federico Presti]

I managed to snap this shot even though my group wouldn't wait for me. I always have a hard time trying to make people understad why certain subjects can be interesting in photography. Anyway, I'd like to know whether this was a good use of reflection or not. I like the fact that I appear in the lower right hand corner of the frame, but is this a good thing?
The rain also adds something to it right?

Feels too close for me... if you had back a bit further.. and composed what is it behind / beside the reflector it might have bring a greater impact..just my noob oppinion..?

I really like this shot, but I can't exactly put my finger on why. At first I couldn't find you in the mirror, I had expected you to be closer. I like the fact that while you're standing, everyone else is walking past. The rain does add an interesting element, especially because everyone seems to be wearing shorts/t shirt. The parallel leading lines of the tram tracks and wire are a nice touch.

I think the problem with this image is that there's no focal point, no subject. Also I would like it more if the mirror were centered in the image, it feels a bit unbalanced as it is.
