Amazingly I didn't even noticed that it was a reflection until I saw the title. Reflections usually have a soft feeling to them, but you were able to achieve a pretty sharp results here, especially the brickwork.

Looks like a special effect was used with the man's legs faded. Looks almost like a ghost.

The lights and darks in the shadows really bring out some impressive shapes.

Good use of contrast here.

Bag -light
Shadow - dark
Highlight on skin - light
Shadow of nose, cheeks, mouth - dark
Eyeball - light
Iris - dark
eye highlight - light

Another great example of the zone system used on portraiture.

Awesome expression. Makes me feel like she is not happy being punished or something. Putting the model next to the wall helps to give this feeling. Can't help but stare at her eyes.

Interesting that the composition is very symmetrical. It's odd that the viewers eyes are drawn to the man's eyes, but at the same time because of the color contrast of his clothes and the grass really brings your eyes to the grass. Wonder what would happen if the pants was a different color to his shirt. Maybe a darker color. It would help to focus in on the eyes longer and not the grass.

Don't know what lens you used for this one, but seems pretty sharp.

Incredible sharpness on the fence post. The great contrast makes the photo look 3D. You have got to show the original version and show the processing on this.Or was it simply a great lens/camera combo.

I don't mind see the post in the center. Most folks would say it would look better if it composed using the rules of 3rd but I like a simple compostion in which the focus point is right there where your eyes don't have to wonder.
