Something weird about the look of yours (processing?) and the amount of rock showing through and composition just don't really work for me. To pull off a "reflection only" shot you almost need a glassy smooth water surface that's opaque such that you only see the reflection, not translucent where you also see the bottom of the puddle. That's a matter of light and angle like in the one railohio linked or this one:

Even the slightest breeze will tend to mess up the water surface like in this case:

Good luck and keep trying interesting things...

Do you have a shot that shows more of the engine? I think that's the key here.

After a week of looking at it I see how not good it really is. Thanks for all the tips guys. I'll try some other rainy day.
