The whole picture's lovely, but you don't have to do anything special to get the reflection in the puddle (apart from having a puddle there in the first place, of course).
It looks more like fun with long exposure and a bright flashlight/torch or led. I've actually done some things like that, although not as good, and it was quite fun. All you need is for it to be dark out, put the camera on a tripod, set the camera for the shutter to stay open, and move the light around. The light will be low enough and you'll be moving quickly enough not to show up, but the bright light source will expose the film.
A similar, fun thing to do that can have interesting results is to go to a garden when it's dark out, set up the camera as above, and use a flash to highlight certain areas of the garden.
When I first saw it, I thought it was a composite of two photos: someone waving a torch around in pitch black with a very long exposure to make an afterglow image of wings, and someone standing in front of a spotlight to make the rest of the shot.
FOOL! You have just ensured the doom of this world. You cannot even begin to imagine what you have set in motion this day! Go to the temple of light, in the eastern city of Kurast. There you will see the gate to Hell opened before you. You must find the courage to step through that gate, Marius. Take the stone you hold to the Hellforge, where it will be destroyed. Now run. Take the stone and run!
Light painting is a pretty awesome photo technique, a Philly photog I know has done some interesting stuff mixing glamor/fashion shoots with the same lighting tricks.

Now you ask me though, I'm not so sure...
