Went out with a big mirror in my car and drove to a little old hut near my hometown Hafnarfjordur. When I arrived I took this rather heavy mirror out of the car and put it on the ground in front of the hut and took this shot. So this is a real mirror!
Thanks a lot for votes and helpful comments - it's much appreciated!

I just noticed my comment has a just a line. :O( My mistake....this is a beutiful image, I gave you an 8. The line was supposed to be be some words. I began to write something then erased it and accidently left the line. Congrats on the yellow. Very well done. Boy do I feel stupid :O(

Had me fooled as well. I should have taken more time to notice it wasn't water. Either way, you shared my highest vote. Congrats on your 3rd place finish.
Fooled me! Since there were a number of other entries that DID use water reflections, it was a natural assumption that this was water, especially with your chosen title. I actually spent about 5 minutes examining this, trying to determine if it was a mirror or very still water. The edges were awfully straight, but the title kept saying "water".
A very cool shot, and I am really having to try and stretch my definition of a mirror to give this the high vote it ought to get. I'm afraid I have to give it a somewhat lower vote for now, though I may re-evaluate my thinking later on.
Added: After reading the discussions in the score thread, I went and looked up definitions of "mirror" from several sources. I did not consider a reflection in water to be a mirror. Several sources use that as a secondary definition, so I must now consider a reflection in water to be a creative interpretation. I think it only fair to reevaluate my original vote on this and give you some points back.
