The reflections are natural, I don't think anything else is needed, the light is natural, the important thing is the exposure and the development. In the 80's I worked quite a lot on this kind of photos, I studied Ansel Adams' books quite a lot, then I moved on to a time of macro slides of insects, butterflies etc.... both practices gave me a base for street photography.
