 This is the reflection of a van in a puddle after a afternoon Florida thunderstorm. I love the mystic mood to the shot.

Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club

First Impression: Interesting image though if this was taken after a thunderstorm maybe you could have found a puddle over more even ground and without the lampost though maybe they were included for interest?

Composition: Subject fills the frame nicely and wonder how this would have scored if you had flipped it to look 'normal'

Subject: Meets the challenge well and a reflected van is much more interesting than a straight shot of a van.

Technical: I think reflections can be difficult to portray well and this looks a little flat so maybe a boost in contrast would have helped convery the 'mood' you were after?

Final thoughts:Overall this image doesn't WOW me and whilst technically there is little wrong with it I guess voters wouldn't have stopped to view for long as there isn't much to keep the viewer interested.
