Hi, Critique Club here...

I think this is very creative and meets the challenge well. I don't usually like selective desats, but this is a rare exception because it adds to the image.

I like the HDR affect, I think you've really pulled out some details.

I agree with some of the comments about the busy background, it's almost hard to look at. I think a tighter crop would have increased your score by a point.

a tight crop on the mirror would have been better IMO, the other areas of the scene are too busy and distracting

really nice use of the mirror. All those spindly trees in shot really distract from the shot though.

Exposure on the mirrored part of the scene is gorgeous and I love the starburst of light. Think I might prefer more of the left side of the image cropped out ... just not adding enough interest for there to be so much of it.
