Sometimes what we see (what is in front of our eyes) is not what we think we see, and we realize that not everything is as it seems. The reflections depend on the perception of each one of us, because the world often appears reversed, distorted or fragmented.

Rosario what a beautiful, tranquil scene you have captured. It's other-worldly and a wise move to convert to b/w as it makes it timeless. You also have a nearly identical triangle on either half of your image that contrast one another well. Nicely seen and thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much Istambullu, reflections are very interesting, I had to rotate the image 180 degrees to make it appear more real. Regards, Rosario.

Hi, Rosario. I like this image. I looks like real image, but only it's just a reflection on the water. Black and white suits is a good choice. I prefer to clone out the diagonal pole because it's distracting to me. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Bunhamin and thank you for the suggestion. I also had doubts about the pole, (it was part of a crane), in the end decided to leave because I thought that gave the image a touch of rebelliousness. Regards, Rosario.

I really like this picture and composition. The way you have taken it is interesting as it looks like the reflection is where the scene should be. Nice work.
