As others have noted, fantastic.

There appears to be some light bloom at the bright highlights.  Was this
post-processed in, or an added (beneficial) effect from the focal blur?

There is one subtle touch you may look at adding (or maybe you have and I can't
notice..).  It appears as if the mirror is a mirrored surface, whereas mirrors
of this type are usually glass mirrors.  Mayber try adding a thin glass layer
between your mirroed surface and the swans, this can add two subtle effects
depending on the viewing angle: the reflection can get attenuated a bit and even
coloured slightly by the glass colour, and there will be a fainter, second
reflection on the glass surface.
