 Just a quick thought of a Disco Ball would be a cool shot!

COMPOSITION
I think the overall composition of this could have been strengthened by getting closer adn not trying to include the whole thing. Perhaps sitting it on a solid background and getting an edge of it in one corner (lower right, for example). Then, the negative space would help focus the viewer's attention on the subject.

TECHNIQUE
The focus looks off to me, especially as you get to the bottom of the ball. I found myself looking at the individual mirrors, and thought that it would have been neat if you could have arranged/manipulated it so that it ended up being a mosaic of some kind. Sort of a picture within a picture type thing.
It is a good idea, I just think some of the distracting elements (focus, background) kept it from being as effective as it could be.


Best to you in future challenges.

Me thinks that what makes this a picture is what you've done with it.
I see some good focus, some not so bad lighting. . .
And for that, I'll give you a

Challenge - met. Background doesn't do anything for the subject. JPEG artifacts make the clarity of this photo questionable. The glarish pattern on the lower left of the ball hurts the image. (Seems like a very difficult subject! Like something I might have picked! RE: Cool idea, but not pulled off well) 5 Swash
