Nightfall
Soundtrack 'No Return' by Stray Theories: soundcloud.com/straytheories/no-return
Inspired by Swedish Beck movie intro: youtu.be/bjezxCrQc58
Some technical yada yada ...
When taking the shot, I did a mistake of not taking account the narrowing perspective when pointing up with wide angle lens. But then on editor I thought it is a cool idea to give a little surreal touch, and "widen" the reflection instead of trying to correct the perspective on original first. That way I also manage to keep the nice attic window on top right corner within the frame.
The continuity of straight lines and perspective are not perfect, but I decided not to be too perfectionist. That way the image title "nightfall" gets also a double meaning. It now hopefully and intentionally looks like the block of houses on right are little skewed, like falling to water. Also the whole landscape looks like sinking towards the far end of the street. There is also a small mismatch in the middle, where the vertical poles does not meet precisely. But I was lazy, and decided to leave it that way to make the image look like there is "an error in the matrix" (referring to the movie Matrix).
Moreover, I copied the idea from the very first scene on the Beck movie intro, and placed the horizon (mirror axis) on one third instead of leaving it in the middle of the image. Finally I added some darkening gradient on the bottom part to make the "water" look darker, like it often looks on water surface reflections seen in nature.
The whole thing was done on GIMP editor, except some fine tuning of exposure done on PicMonkey, which I added after the upload.
P.S. I strongly recommend viewing that Beck movie intro for several times. There are number of very clever tricks. For example a building reflecting from a water, which looks right way up when the bottom part of the image gets mirrored to top. And then the mismatch film sequence on the corridor scene, which also could be done on still image, by taking two images on different locations and then combine the halves.

Thanks for the link to this "Beck"-movie.
Didn't know, that's there a new series of old Sjöwall/Wahlöö-Stories.
Hope, one day they bring it in german TV ... a gorgeous intro !

Some of the episodes (movies) are not so good, but it is always interesting to follow how the story continues.

Une "idée " que tu pourrais utiliser dans tes images reflétées, comme un jeu...
:)
I'm just wondering why to skew the reflection in the first place. Simply mirroring the bottom part in Y would have given you exactly the inward slanting effect you wanted.
