The idea is interesting and the photo has some interesting graphical aspects.
I think you could explore the subject better, namely if you concentrate on some minor details, like the reflections.
I'll post a WS just to explain myself.

Playing on reflections is a good idea, and sometimes, that allows visual "double-entendre", and the shot has something to say beyond its composition. I think that was what we are aiming at here, not sure if you meant to, though. The problem here is that you transferred your idea to the camera without too much discerning. I think there are too many reflections seen, but the moment is caught well, not seeing much of the faces both frustrate and titillate us, we are left with a nice feminine shape and the distance between her and the guard, both social and physical.

I will try a WS too.

Peter, You have good subjects, give your compo a good thought before you press the shutter, the camera and the eye are 2 different things. In this case, post-processing was crucial rather than compo.
