A very artful shot; I like the colorful presentation very much and you did a nice job handling the potentially tricky lighting here.
This is purely my personal opinion, but I prefer this shot with a crop from the top, eliminating the tree trunks and forcing the viewer to rely only on the reflection to perceive the background. But that's just my take and, in any case, it's a very nice image as presented here.

I actually did the image both ways (plus several others). The nice thing about fall color is it is easy to get great images then-just point and shoot.
Here is a similar one of the same puddle.

The second one would be my choice, Darren....nice work!
A couple of nice shots. I agree the cropped shot is the better of the two. I won't be long. I was up in Houghton Mi over the weekend and the trees are starting to turn.
