stopped on the way back down from Artist Point on Sunday and got this shot of Table Mountain reflected in a small meltwater pond... there were some ripples when i first got there, but after a few minutes, the breeze died down, and the water got mirror-calm... not as spectacular as Shuksan reflected in Picture Lake, perhaps, and i'd have preferred a bit darker sky, perhaps with a cloud or two, but i still love a nice "Rorschach" shot! ;)

    Try cropping out some or most of the sky. Its nice in blue in the reflection.

    My question is, how did you cut a contoured mirror that big and get it to float on top of that lake?
