gave this a 6. i liked principally the elongated diagonal sort of distortion in the photo, the angle it's taken from (well, angle of the reflective surface) and the subtle discreet secret agent posture of you taking it - the fact that you're not using the view finder enhances this. the paving makes for a captivatingly stylish patterned background, but the overall effect is ruined a bit by the persons feet encroaching the top of yur frame. as a photo though, i really like it.
