The key to getting a decent shot is to use your manual focus, have a 'model' who understands what you're attempting to do and play around with it. Oh and you need to get ridiculously close to the object of interest in order to get a decent reflection.
Here are a few others that i have done:
Ephesus, Turkey:
Abu Simbel, Egypt:
Easter Island:

Interesting that you found no need for anything wider than 24mm on an APS-C camera. I was considering bringing my 15-85 and possibly adding a 10-18, leaving my 70-200 at home. Not hiking the trail, by the way, just Machu Picchu and the hill behind it. Thanks for providing some beautiful perspectives!
