Very nice. The reflection is quite symmetrical and the light is beautiful. The image feels weighted to the right with all the bulk and shadow on that side. In this image, I find that appealling rather than distracting. Adds impact and interest.

I admit that the thumbnail didn't catch my attention very much. But then when I viewed the photo, and then the larger photo, I found the composition increasingly more appealing. Normally, I think I would agree with Nancy too, that the composition seems rather unbalanced to the right. But again, it works here surprisingly well, especially when viewing the larger photo. I found myself drawn into the image from the right, exploring the symmetry, even though there is not a great deal specifically to focus on. This composition is completely about the symmetry. Nice work.
