Hi Katalin

I do like it. I like your choice of "reflection material", using a puddle of water, rather than, say, a lake. It´s creative.
The warm colors in this image are also attractive to me. It´s nice to have the line created between the two puddles as a reference leading the eye into the image.
A couple of things that I would try to change are
1) The light on the upper right side of the photo. It´s quite a bit stronger than in the rest of the image, as well as causing a reflection of blown highlights. This can have an interesting effect, but here I would rather have tried to retrieve some detail, since all that can be seen there is the reflection of white light.
2) You lose some detail in the foreground because the image isn´t sharp. A possibility is to use some kind of sharpening feature in a software, but I don´t know if that will work to well when it´s "so close". Another option is to crop it away, leaving only the sharp image. You might try a higher F value for a similar shot next time (f8 or f11). That should give you some more depth of field.

Hope this helps, and welcome to TL :)
