Shot in Peterson Creek Par with a kitten and a wavy mirror in the grass to simulate a "stream". Very basic, very simple.
I know it's a little off-focus.. but I shot this angle about 20 times, and couldn't get it any better than this. I unsharp masked it about as much as I could without going over-board, but hey.. what can a guy do eh?
Editing: USM, curves, brightness/contrast, two minor clones for particles, cropping, re-sized.

I just love this shot. The kitten has a great look on his face, and I like the detail you can see. Might want to put some dirt/leaves alon the edge of the mirror so you can't see it as well. But I'm a sucker for kittens. 9
Cat photo, hate them, must give it a 1 ..... Cat photo, hate them, must give it a 1 ..... no dammit, I can't!!!!!!!! Blast you for making me like a cat photo, as this is excellent!
The background in your reflection is extremely blown out. What time of day did you attempt this? It may be an impossible exposure without combining (bracketed) images which is illegal in the challenges and damn near impossible with a live subject. You also appear to be overly sharpened.
