I've always loved photographing reflections when I'm out shooting landscapes. Who doesn't? Reflections can make for such interesting subjects, and there's a lot you can do with them, aside from the ultra-classic "perfect mirror image" of the mountain scene reflecting in the lake. 

 

Reflection images allow us to juxtapose the "upside down" with the "right side up," and there are lots of ways to approach this. 

 

One of my favorite techniques is to zoom in and isolate and abbreviate specific elements that can play off of each other in the frame. 

 

This also helps to increase the viewer’s own imagination and engagement with the image, because the “story” of the scene isn’t quite so apparent. They have to work for it as they disseminate the shot and try to figure out exactly what’s going on.
