Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ There are two reflection styles in this photo.
In the forested foreground is a dark reflection in a small pool.
It is one of several pools, staged in steps at the Ashcombe Maze, Arthurs Seat, Mornington Peninsula.
In the background is a lake with a pale, misty reflection.

I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

How beautiful are the two different reflections! Many things in life have two sides.
Happy new year :-)
So clear, looks like the wing of a butterfly. Happy New Year
Cool photo! I like the shape of the water.
Happy New Year!
I love the contrast of the clear reflection in the foreground and the blurry one in the back.
Gemma, this is a wonderful photo and reflection.
Beautiful, what a gorgeous, crystal clear reflection in the foreground.
I wish you and yours all the good things in the world, for the new year.
