I like the colors, and the shapes of the trees. I'm not sure the centered composition is quite working for me, though.

That's pretty cool.
The inherent symmetry makes any non-balance jump out -- the half-degree clockwise tilt stands out a lot more than it would normally, and I think maybe a few pixels should be chopped off the right edge to make the balance more perfect. (It really is only a few pixels, but one can feel it immediately).
Also, the vertical centering makes me expect reflections there as well and it's a sort of disappointing feeling to not find them. I wonder how it works to crop off the bottom third and go for a more panoramic format to emphasize the horizontal. That also makes the black panels (lights?) on the ceiling work as counterweights to the silhouetted figure.
I like the smearing of the reflection with the diverging perspective of the lines on the walls and ceiling, which sort of has the feel of one of those long-exposure-while-changing-zoom gimmick shots, but then you realize a half-second later that no, it's not a trick.
I'm also not sure I'd call it "mirror image", when there's two of 'em.
