Just a little too abstract for me. Like the glass, though. Actually, it kinda grows on you...

This is an interesting abstract I guess. I have a hard time grasping what i'm looking at.

This would be better if the Person? or whatever is behind the glass were closer that it was possible to tell what it is.

would have preferd to have the rider sharper, rather than the glass texture. Perhaps not possible??

Lack of focus bothers me a bit too much. Not sure what the message is.

I think that having a much more defined shap on the other side of the glass would help this image. Something familiar that would be recognizable, but while using the glass as a new method of portraying the subject.

Interesting. The lighter area on the lower right is a little distracting from the focal point of the rider. Perhaps cropping out part of the right side would make this stronger.

Well, I like the subject's placement in the frame.

Sorry but not my cup of tea, I am not and probably never will be a fan of abstract work and this is no exception, this shot makes no sense to me. Just thought I at least owed you an explanation why I voted it a 3, there is simply nothing about this photo that I like.
