Good shot and good idea for a reflection exposure. To me it looks like you have divided the shot in half with one window on the left and one on the right. I would change the format to vertical and feature only one window with it's reflection. I would feature the left side with the green tree growing up the wall next to it. I would also move the window to the left to get it out of dead center (left third of the format). In most cases its a question of how to get a reflection exposed in the shot. In this case the reflection is about identical to the main subject, which is actually distracting. I would burn the reflection in just a little to give the upper half a little more distinction from its reflection and its not as distracting. You should be able to re-format, crop, and burn in the reflection with the current shot. Just my thoughts on how I would compose this one. Look at the Wikimedia Commons shot... same idea.</blockquote>
