Light comes from behind, all shadows are combined (see the temple and ice shards shadows) so i guess elephant's reflection is not wrong.

Author, maybe Kevin is right (if that shine we see in the middle-right is the light source)... And reflection is a bit sharp/hard (observe the clouds reflection). But it's a nice compo.

by the way , reflections and shadows are two different things
1.shadow is cast by an object in a way opposite to the light source.
2.reflection is the object viewed in a reflective surface .
so the reflection is not dependent from the light source, but from the angle of the viewer and the angle of the reflective surface.
So in this case i think the reflection should be almost parallel
....having sad that , the image is great i personally don't care much about reality of the unreal world it looks good and good luck

nice job...

avatar DanLundberg

gornats is right on: the elephant reflection should be just a vertical flip (with no size change).

author says:

Ok i'll fix that soon, thanks for helping!

Would be much better with the proper reflection...

author says:

Reflection's fixed, thanks.

avatar DanLundberg

Clearly better. Going to the next level --> If you take your background pic, make a copy of the top half from the horizon line up to the top of the sky, flip it vertically, and position it over the bottom half from the horizon line down, then you will see that it's virtually a perfect match of the lake reflections. Ergo, the lake is a pretty good mirror that takes on some fun-house-mirror characteristics where it gets disturbed. Lessons for you: The elephant is in front of the clouds in the real world so it also needs to be in front of the clouds in the reflected world. A reflection of the sky whirlpool should be part of the bottom of your image. The spired temples amongst the clouds as well as the moon have to be reflected in the lake. Ripple filter and smudging will obviously be needed. Separate issues: The fish and shell seem dubious -- and virtually unnoticeable without a hi-res. I'd make all the spires perfectly vertical.
