I'd keep the reflection but turn it into a light shadow instead of reflection. I don't like her chin showing, it is distracting. I'd rather the hat covering all of her face.
I don't mind her chin but her hair is an issue. It looks like it could have used a smoothing after the hat was put on and she was settled in her position. [ Personal preference.] I like the reflection, is it faked? I agree it needs to be diminished but definitely think it adds to the comp.

Duplicate layer, switch blend mode to overlay, free transform (pull it upside down until it looks believable), erase the parts that overlap, lower opacity to 30% +/-
Model/portrait shots are out of my league as far as keeping up with the rules and do's and don't's, etc. but I totally love this shot. It looks as though she is laying on a photograph of herself as opposed to it being a reflection, if that makes sense. It is, for me, a very unique shot, which means you have shown me a "typical" shot in a different way.
Kind of different ... as you can't see her face, it draws more attention to her body. She looks good but I think she could have stretched out just a tad bit more to look even better. About the reflection - is it real? Seems a little artificial to me, Good job on her tone, etc.

Thanks for the feedback so far.
The hair was an issue through the whole shoot, it is ultra fine and refused to stay in place.
Really wish I had gotten this with full lips showing, but this is the best I have for this pose
Guess I should have posted this without the reflection first, too...
Beautiful shot. I would add more canvas/frame all around as I'm not liking how tightly cropped this is. I agree that more lips in view would have been beter, but this still works. the reflection works for me, though it does look too short or skewed as Armando stated Stretch it down more at the bottom and let whatever comes out of frame be gone. Reduce opacity a bit more.
Love the hat.
Overall everything is fine, i just would like a looser crop.
Well done
