I don't think the castle-hill reflection should be more distorted than that for the canoe. More problematic, the castle-hill reflection implies that the lighthouse is surrounded by trees which is obviously not the case. Also the sky reflection has fewer clouds than the actual sky. And the castle-hill reflection is still unrealistically scrunched. Given the height of the hill, a simple vertical flip from the water line up would not permit any part of the lighthouse to appear in the reflection as long as the bottom edge of your image remains cropped where it is. [See your River source for an example of how a simple vertical flip from the water line up is the way reflections work.]

Author the link is working perfectly , you should have to select 3 lines URL link starting from "http://thumb1" and ending "in-water-25574452.jpg" and paste into browser address bar.

Anyway it is just for your information

In the case of boat's reflection, you have to notice that the internal part must not appear on the water.

Dan is right, but you can correct this and have a great image.

Pretty, but the castle-hill reflection is off. Just as your canoe reflection is a simple vertical flip from the water line up, the castle hill from the water line up should be vertically flipped to create its reflection. (Stack some things on a mirror to see how reflections work.)

Edges of mountain on the right are blurred while tower edges are sharp. Agree with Akassa regarding bird. Also bird's wings masking, need some work. Nice composition. Good Luck

That's nice . However, the towers look repetitive, maybe you can clone the windows (especially the blocked one) to different place to make them look different, also the edges of the rocks look too sharp. Good luck!
