The Angle of Reflection.

I love reflection shots. They are at once mathematically precise (the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection) and impressionistic (how impressionistic depends on the turbidity of the reflective surface). 

They can be part of a landscape.

 Or semi-abstract compositions on their own. 
I love how the slight agitation of the water here resembles brush stokes.

The last photo reminnds me of Van Gogh's brush technique. Very pretty!

Sometimes I look at a landscape and think...wow if one sees that painted...it is hard to believe in the reality of it. This reminds me of that feeling...good capture Peter!
