You still understood the setting needed on the camera to take a picture that wasn’t over exposed, and shows good depth of field. Your composition to include the entire reflection was a conscious decision (assumption).

While there are some elements of many shots that are luck, including many meticulously planned shoots, there is a lot far from “dumb” in a dumb luck shot. It does go to show that you should always be prepared for when the elements of luck align so you can take advantage of it.
