Good picture - Very beautiful reflections and it looks almost as real as if you are there.
I personally love reflections from gold, silver and stainless steel.
I am concerned about the challenge guidelines though which were "Take your best photo representing one of these signs" and I believe no amount of thought can any of the zodiac signs be found here.
As I have always had to previously judge with strict guidelines I am torn how much lattitude I should give,
To be fair - I think I have to go for the middleground in this case.
I know I am not the only person having problems with challenge guidelines - there is quite a thread running on it.

The ribbon on the glass has an ethereal look. The circle/moon might of looked a bit better in the back? Just a thought. I love the soft colors. Good entry.
