I do like it, but I would like it even better if the transition between the black and grey was less pronounced and had more pixels in the transition

I like it, but the big thing in the middle of it confuses me.

Cool! -It reminds me of those stickers you put on your car window that bunch up and never stick flat. :lol
Neat effect Willy i like it.The gray does seem sorta out of place though maybe like 2-ton said a better transition into the black from gray areas?

To be honest I don't really like it. I'm not digging the background with the gaussian blur. I think it should have an actual background like a scene, and the brush added in looks terrible as well as the text. I think you should add an effect to the text place it somewhere else, different font, and size, as well as probably give it a reflection, but that's just my opinion.

I do like the silhouettes though, however I think this could of been constructed better.

Just google People Dancing, and Then Copied the One with all the silouhets (can't spell), and then removed the White from Background with Color to Alpha, then alpha to selection and colored them Orange, added a new layer, and bucket Filled Black, then the text was from the first one and I never could get it to look the same.
To get there coloring like that, I alpha to selection and feathered at like 100 and then painted darker orange on a new layer and set it to overlay on them.

Fairly Simple :D
