30 Striking Examples of Reflection in Photography
Reflections are all around us, and are a large part of natural beauty. I particularly like reflections as the symmetry created draws parralels to some of the primary principles of good design. Additionally the reflections often expose things not obvious in the original subject. Often reflections can take on new, and more interesting forms, displaying an entirely new dimension to things.

Amazing photos:-)
Thanks Adone, I’m glad you enjoyed them!
excellent collection!
I like how in the last photo the reflection reveals the intirety of the subjects while the actual subjects in reality are only partially visible. Brilliant.
Awesome SHots…
Beautiful collection! Love the dolphin!

Nice selection. Love the detail on the bird shot.
nice cool stuff tom
What a great collection of photos! If only I could manipulate photos in that way. Speaking on photo manipulation, I ran across this article on photo manipulation with PhotoShop and how it has effected the world… quite an interesting take:

Travis: Good observation! I knew there was something I especially loved about that piece!
I’m glad everyone appreicated the article!

Great photography and capturing of reflection, i really like the reflection on the hot air balloon image, no ripple in the water what so ever, just looks like a mirror copy of the balloons. Thanks for the refreshing post.

Amazing collection, thanks for putting in so much effort and giving us these views. As ps fans, we are always trying to recreate nature, and these photographs serve as a guidepost to show how much further we have to go.
Really inspirative! I’m fascinated by reflection effect in photography and I take reflection shot very often.
Please have a look to this shots:

nice collection, thank you
Some awesome work here, shame deviant have slapped their watermark all over the cool glasses image. The kingfisher is an amazing shot.
i think that the picture of the trees before the photo of the yellow flower would almost be more interesting if flipped over, a lot of photos with reflections do!
Fabulous pictures.
