already added it to my favourites, but i have to ask as i can tell myself: how have you done that reflection?
i believe that it's not made in post production, light is bit different. dark glass?

You're right, it wasn't done in post production. It's a natural reflection on a piece of Plexiglas. Read the reply I wrote just below your comment, it has a crazy in depth description of what I did

no studio lighting, I shot it in all natural light. It was a very clear day so I set up a makeshift studio outside on my driveway. It was a nice day and I wanted to get outside as well as complete a little photography project.
The set-up itself was very simple. I have a large sheet of black Plexiglas, I polished up the front and placed it across 2 stools.
Then the only post editing work I did was all using RAW, so I quick nudge to increase the blacks, this just helped to remove a couple scratches on the Plexiglas without having to clone them off and then a save.
Thank you for the lovely compliments.
