What a perfect capture! It does look like a mirror reflection as opposed to a reflection in a lake. A beautiful capture, focus and clarity are great.

Comment from Phil Holloway
The format of square cropping works really well for you here - a good decision. A nicely framed image with great symmetry for the mirror reflection.

When I look at mirror images from water reflection the first thing I ant to see is if the reflections are equal - and this is one of the best I've seen.

The capture is bright with fine contrast and color.

Exposure and sharpness are spot on.

Well done!... Bob

Great contest entry and best of luck in the voting !
The cat is comfortable to be the model and resting on the site of the water allowing for a clear reflections.
Nice colors, details and placement within the frame. Good composition !

I have a cat that looks a lot like this one and it is the most temperamental cat I have ever had! Now after that trivia for you, (haha) I want to say this is an awesome capture! Seeing the perfect reflection in the lake is great. Made me smile

Comment from Jennifer Lancaster
This is super cool. At first I thought it was digitally manipulated but then I read the description and realized no! It is in fact a real reflection. Wild! Perfect picture to submit to the contest. Nicely done.

A beautiful portrait of this black & white Tom Cat resting on the lake shore on which his reflection is seen on the lake's glistening surface. The light sparkling in his eyes as he watches you closely. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Comment from nikman
A good looking image posted here into the competition! Oddly enough there does not seem to be enough water there to get such a good reflection? Textures, colours and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!
