CommentA reflection is as real as the real thing.
This reflection is still readable as a Pacific Black Duck.
This image was captured with the intention of using the reflection. There has been virtually no processing. The image has been rotated 180 degrees. An unresolved issue is that another real thing - the physical - has been cropped out of the image. .) The result is that the bird part of the image is anchored to the bottom of the image.This may limit potential compositions
The fantastical bokeh adds to the unsettling tensions.
