This is the first day with my new camera.
The puddle was created with the garden hose since there has been little rain here this summer.
The image was cropped.

I really like the concept and setup here - the rubber duck was a great touch! I think that the image seems a bit washed out though (pun intended). I would probably try to burn the reflection to deepen the color tones and shadows. If you reduced the overall lighting (PP), I think you could really improve the image's impact. Nice shot.
As presented here, this looks like a snapshot. With a little editing (burn the sky, make it look dark enough that it's not obvious that this was a very sunny day) it could be a decent entry. The lines clearly visible in the pavement below the puddle steal attention from the reflection.
You've captured a great reflection, just last night it finally rained in my neighborhood and there I was taking a pic of son's reflection in a puddle, too late for challenge but good practice ... yours is better anyway, I'll keep trying.
IMO this would be better if the colours had been brighter. It looks a little 'washed out' (excuse the pun) which rather spoils a very good picture. Good luck
