It dawned on me that's what it was after seeing other postings. It seems
that I'm not getting all the postings, and sometimes they come a half
day, or even a day later.
As far as that shot of yours is concerned,  it is a tad rough. Even in a
grab shot, one should always have their compositional presence of mind.
It would of had greater visual stability if the whole of the reflection
was included. Otherwise, with a square, the use of negative space such
as more of the space over the head being included would have greater
effect on concentrating the viewer to your subject.
It seems that your still getting the hang of your Roll-eye. But all good
things come in due course. 
Here are two samples taken with a white-face 2.8F. The same sitter
position, but two different camera positions. The frontal is my least
favorite, as it was only the vehicle shot for a very close in portrait,
which they didn't use. Go figure what's in an editor's mind.
