This upside-down mural is upright in reflection

This mural transforms its meaning when reflected in the waterโ€”what appears upside-down on the wall becomes upright magic in the riverโ€™s reflection.

@streetartutopia

This is impressive, but how can the reflection on the water surface be as sharp and crisp as the mural on the walls and much sharper than the reflection of the building?
If not photoshopped.

@fello @streetartutopia it cannot. This IS photoshopped
@Badscrew I gave you a link in the original post. Never say photoshopped when it comes to street art if you only go of one photo. Than you will be wrong a lot. ๐Ÿ˜…
@streetartutopia @Badscrew The water in that example is much more still. The original photo -- where the water's surface is wavy and rippled but the drawings are clear -- is very definitely altered.

@MisterMoo @streetartutopia @Badscrew not sure you understand how water works, but it changes depending on *checks notes* the weather.

I've been at sea (yes, out of sight of land) and it's been like glass, then minutes later a maelstrom begins

@sortius @streetartutopia @Badscrew Not sure if you're arguing with me about this or not, but just to restate: the ripples and waves on the surface of a body of water will affect all aspects of the reflection equally, but they don't here. Hence it's an altered photo. I have no doubt that on calm days the effect is impressive.
@MisterMoo @streetartutopia @Badscrew not arguing, straight up telling you that you don't understand how water works, but you do you
@streetartutopia @Badscrew 'never say photoshopped'.
But it IS photoshopped, right?
@streetartutopia those lines look unusually crisp and clean in the water, and the way the colors show through... are you sure that wasn't *heavily, heavily* edited?
@streetartutopia @falcennial WOW ๐Ÿ˜ฎ I love art that expands into the dimension of time and state of surroundings. It reminds me of mysteries, clues, hidden puzzles and meanings and adventure. ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•
@streetartutopia the artwork and the effect are real, but i think the reflection in this post is photoshopped with the original art to amplify the effect, which may be difficult to convey under the wind circumstances with which the picture was taken
@streetartutopia
A far-seeing vision to have the three planes on which the mural is drawn become one plane with surface of the water.
@streetartutopia while the exhibit does exist, the picture is fake. With all the AI bullshit it's best to show the real thing IMHO. If not people won't buy it.
@Rik_Dhuyvetters Well you can believe what you want. But plz check other things befor you call out fake.
@streetartutopia just to make it clear. I'm not saying that exhibit doesn't exist, because it does, it's just clear that this specific photo was photosopped. And that does a disservice to the artist. You wouldn't post a photoshopped picture of the Mona Lisa, would you?

@streetartutopia

With respect to your edit: I wish you had rather acknowledged the photoshopping in this specific photo, pointing to the other ones in your articles as examples how the reflections look like, at a calmer moment when the water is more mirror-like.

As many have already pointed out, water with ripples would distort the whole reflection of the wall, not just e.g. the roof above, and the windows beneath the swan, while the swan itself is mirrored perfectly. There is no point in trying to argue with physics, like you do.
