I think for a reflection to be interesting, you need to have a definite subject in it. I can see it's reflecting something, but I don't know exactly what. The ripples add a kind of texture and I like their positioning, but are not really a reflection.

My first glance at this image told me something needed to be tweaked, but I couldn't figure it out. Saralonde has it all figured out, the reflection needs to be recognizable.
