This shot would have been helped with some flash fill on the under side to brighten up the colors. Maybe a boost in saturation in PS as well. Great idea and composition though.
Thank goodness, something more than a snapshot! I really like the composition and the repeating lines and patterns. It's a little dark though, perhaps due to the backlighting? The bottom left part of the image seems out of focus too..but I still like it;)
I don't know what's missing, beautiful light, or contrast, or some color tricks... But u made it quite boring... I mean, the thing has rythm!!! U should've done smth to draw attention to it... IMO
