This one got my brain kinda confused. I still can't figure out the orientation. But anyhow, I think there's a bit too much going on here J. And because of that it lacks a central focus, a subject.

It's certainly a puzzle! My first thought is that that, maybe, there is a little too much going on here. Perhaps it would work better if you had chosen a smaller portion? It would still have retained the element of puzzle, but would be a little less sensory over-load. Hope that makes sense.
I agree with Liban and Mike here in that there might be too much of a good thing happening in this one. I love the effect that is created with all these mini reflectors?. It looks like a mosaic abstract somehow. I'm thinking that an 8x10 crop from the right will ease up the overload and place that orb like glowing ball in the upper right third of the frame creating a little less tension. I wouldsurely keep this for use in a series of reflection photos.
I can see -- I think -- a reflection of a reflection of a something with letters, and foliage -- okay, now I'm all mixed up......this messes with my head...

Thx for the comments. This was a reflection off the Energy building at Epcot of a cool art formation out front. I thought it would be a cool abstract, texture or background. Here is a slight crop taking out a lot of the reds on the right.
This looks much better, Rod. I think it makes for a well balanced and pleasing abstract. Although we are not sure what were looking at, we know its a reflection, its eye candy so we can look and not get bored and yet there is just enough there to keep us interested in trying to make out what the reflection is .
It works for me, good crop.
I also think it does get stronger with that ball placed in the upper third. Funny how a slight crop and placing that sphere there changes this shot so much.

I like the crop better, but not being as abstract lover I can not see what it is supposed to be, However I think the colors and shapes are captivating. BTW my wife absolutely loves the shot, and said I had no taste.
Bill,
