Good idea to use a refection as part of the composition. Decent color and nice use of shallow DOF. Overall a little more contrast would add brightness to the image and though the refection is nice it having it off a bluegrey surface does not work as well as it could. Might be interesting to see how it would work off a mirror. The sharp focused areas still appear a bit on the soft focused side and might be better is sharpened more.
This pic would be more a lot more eye catching if the levels were balanced, and the focus dead on. There is also a distracting line in the lower left corner that takes away from the photo.
