water reflection

Pond's surface image

The image of something mirrored on a water surface.

Still water acts like a natural mirror, reproducing trees, buildings, or sky in inverted form: The water reflection of the mountains was perfectly clear.

Photographers and painters prize water reflections for their doubling effect and the way ripples distort familiar shapes into abstraction.
