But Nick, isn't Steve okay, the sea/river seems to have washed it away? Difficult one!

I think Steve is right on the button and he's managed the reflection to match the real ones perfectly. As said, all ice is different.

Some great action images here both literal and figurative - and so many winter wonderlands !

I particularly like Tom's snow globe for a twist on the theme

As you can see I spent a lot of time dressing her up in order to put off the evil hour when I had to do reflections

Perfect reflection, Steve.

Thanks Bruce
I tried to copy the other reflections. I Just copied the layer, flipped it a little free transform and blur and lowered the opacity.

Oh to skate in Paris where the only clear ice (for reflections) is in the Pernod.

Josephine, you seem to have something stuck your nose? It should be red, not purple/violet (SP?),,, then thats it. Great work, I think she, her might lose her head soon???

Probably deviated way off the plot here. Skating at 5,800m! Try to get back to it some time later.
