Thanks, @Polilla for your kind comments and support :)

Thanks again, @Daniele.
I posted more reflection pics of the same fish at my Facebook, the reflections were mostly more distorted as compared to Pic#1. I was even able to get nearly a double reflection but it wasn't as nice due to the distortion.

Thanks for your reply Albert! I had read your notes hence my question. I realize now the surface distortion makes the whole reflection look quite different. it's a beautiful image.

Hi @Daniele, I explained in the Notes section of the post that it is just one fish with reflection. As it was feeding near the surface, and when you point your camera upward with a relatively calm/flat sea, you can get very good reflection like a mirror. You can observed the top 'fish' is a reflection with some distortion on the pectoral fins, caused by the 'uneven' surface.

The brownish red thing to the left of the picture is a plankton, again with reflection effect :D

I was very happy to have the opportunity to take this reflection shots and I posted several others at my FB page.

Thanks

Great snaps Albert! Do you actually have one or two different fish on the first shot?

Thanks, @Felix, @BonnieLewis and @Joseph :)

Good shot!

Wow! Nice shot!
