Another very nice reflection shot. I like the way the water is just the tiniest bit rimpled, this gives the houses a nice slightly distorted twist.

I like reflections also, but I usually flip them upside down so at first you don't see it as a reflection. Try it.

I love these shots where you try to puzzle out where the reflections stops and reality begins. Nicely done.

Really nice. But where are the ducks?

Now I've been there. Beautiful place, and you have done a good job. Next time I go, maybe the weather will improve...

I agree about turning it upside down - as it really reminds me of my "watercolor" days . I would even try croping out all the non-reflection. Nice!

Very cool. I'd love to see iot upside down (but I'm afaid I'll fall off my desk if I balance on my hands). Not only is the effect done very well here, but the subject is very nice on its own merits.

Very nice, either way up. (It is not difficult to capture the image using 'Snag-it or similar and rotate in preview. Or, even easier, print it and look at it upside down.)
