Reflection photography: 15 extraordinary reflected wonders

-Who sees the real human face: the photographer, the mirror, or the painter? - Pablo Picasso.

Below we present some outstanding examples of reflection photography, a compendium of small artworks, some of them from extremely popular monuments and tourist attractions, that otherwise, we wouldn't show on this web.

Throughout the time we have been collecting and keeping stunning images for this special post, from the four corners of the world.
