I like everything about it except...I'd crop off most of the bottom. It is a pretty long image, and the reflection really does not add anything and may detract from the other elements.

I'd agree with Agent K about the bottom reflection, nice, but you do not need all of it. Give a bit more room at the top to space the emblem/patch from the edge of the frame more.

Thanks for the comments! To me the reflection of the badges was the 'cool' part of the picture. Its nice to get some feedback from a different sets of eyes. Ill have to give it a re-crop and see how it comes out.
Thanks

Hello
It is a very long skinny image which is somewhat dictated by the (glass ?) with the logo in the back. I rather like the reflection too even thought it contributes to the length of the image. If you are able to re shoot it I would suggest spacing the elements a little differently. If you place the badge and name tag a little further out towards the sides it would give a bit a triangle shape to the elements which might be more appealing and let name of the city show on the badge. I might put some light behind the glass to give some interest and separation from the background. I might also suggest a smaller aperture and/or a change in the point of focus so the name tag is in sharp focus too. Just my 2 cents.
Cheers
Greg
