reflections in animalphotography

When taking pictures at the water i was able to create some nice reflection during my animalphotography trips in Vienna and lake Neusiedler. It is pretty interesting that some times you get some very nice reflections and most of the time there is no reflection at all. For creating reflections like the following you need to have a very calm water and no wind, otherwise the reflections are distorted. A second thing for nice reflection is the light source. The light has to be reflected by the water and the animal in a special angle to get a very nice reflection. If the light is not comming from the right angle you also might whitness some distortion of the reflection.
