i really like the "crusty" look of the lights in the top of the shot . .. and the idea is great!:D

however, the two different color temps bother me a lot. did you try it with both top and bottom either warm or cool?

I tried that and it loses the effect I was trying to get, something like a reflection on a car top. :D
Here is a less processed b/w.

Thank you for comments :)

Really like the second shot -- the artificial reflection makes the first one look a bit 'cheap' IMHO.

oh, i totally like the reflection idea . . just the coolness of the bottom seemed incongruous
