Which category to post this to? "Shorelines" or "Water" or "Boats"? Nope - "Still Life". It's so rare to find the sea so glassy and mirror like. You bet this wasn't the only shot of the morning. [Location: Deep Bay, Vancouver Island]

Great shot, you could flip this 180 and view it either way up. Right time right place.

I could hang around the rivers, ponds, lakes, or whatever for weeks at a time, and I would never see water this still. When I do reflection images, I usually have to manipulate them in. Fantastic shot. Great lighting and colors. Well done.

Looks like a good day for fishing. Looks almost semi-industrial with the pontoon structure. Nice image.
