I absolutely love this. I enjoy how it looks like a "normal" photo at first, but then you realize you're looking in a puddle. It's a little disorienting, but not distracting at all.

The only constructive bit of criticism I would give is that it feels like the composition is slightly pushed to the lower-right... just a *little* off center. (Too much emptiness in the upper-left.)

Other than that, it's perfect!
