But that's one huge "pond" you've got there.. I wouldn't really call something that reaches around a whole city a pond. May I suggest moving the horizon a few lines up and adding an opposite shore to the pond? And the reflection's funny too, it's too short. Almost as if.. Oh wait, now I get it! The city and the opposite shore are behind a hill, which makes the surface of the pond slope and distorts the reflection. And that's also why we can only see the skyscrapers and not the bottom of the city. That.. explains.. everything.. Hey, wait a minute. Water doesn't slope. Well, there goes that explanation.. I suppose it needs diddling after all. Or else it's a really big pond and a really really bloody huge city. -- . _, .. j u s t. h o w l.i n g i n .t h e n.i g h t .. ._, . , )'' . /\_ .
