I agree with the resto of the commenters - the color composition that can not go wrong and fine composition. The reflection which is as perfect as image represents the title in full. I rated it among the best images for this challenge.
What annoys me a bit is some perspective distorsion at the top-left and the DOF which covers only 1/3 of the image in the middle. I'd love the top and bottom sharper.
There is another though regarding color. The whole image consists of two tones, yet at the bottom-right we see a bright hilite. It would be aceptable if the image revealed some of the stainless steel gray - may be a little of the white light from the left... Or, otherwise - the hilite was dimmed a bit.
I really like the colors and reflections on this one. Good lighting and focus and fits the challege. Definitely made "art" out of the ordinary, in my opinion.
