Images 1,3,4,5 and 6 work well with reflections. The only reason image 2 does not work is because of that motion of the lights that your camera captured. The images this week are not as strong as your first because compositionally they are not interesting to look at. Conceptually I get it and of these the first and the last are my favorites because they reflect an image not fully seen in the image that we see straight on. I would continue to work on your compositions so that the eye moves throughout the image easily and evokes a particular tone, whatever it is you are trying to capture in each image.
All the images work well this week. The strongest is the first and last image. The composition is most interesting in those two. The weakest image is the third photo-it's very similar to the fourth, but it's contrast is weaker which makes he fourth image more interesting to me. I like the second image, the blur makes it more interesting. In the second image you almost can't tell which is the reflection and which is the real object because of the blur, but the right side of the image gives it away. Keep playing with angles, and composition and maybe even blur too.
Your images fit conceptually this week and I actually enjoy the blurry one. Did you notice that the lights all make 8th notes on that one? Pretty cool effect. The 5th one I am having more trouble with I guess. There is maybe a little bit too much competition within the shot.
I'm digging this idea and most of photographs. There are so many things that have reflections and we don't even realize it so it's interesting that you've decided to explore! I do agree that the older images you've posted are a bit more exciting than these. I don't know if it's the color scheme or maybe just the subjects themselves. The image working for me is the third one. The third one let's you know the objects reality without making it the center of the shot and making the illusion of the reflection being the main subject. In the fifth image it is all reflection which I appreciate but I think the scenery is a little boring, the immediate recognition of the McDonald's sign kind of draws me out of the reflections trance. I love this idea though and you've produced some beautiful pictures!
