How to not suck at reflections

>>2954919
You need to do perspective do do reflections right. The perspective is already wonky in this, it is beyond salvageable.

Perspective is totally wrong, but I do not agree that this image is beyond salvageable. It is a learning experience and it would be a pity just to throw it out. Maybe at a later date when you feel more confident, but by now why not save it?

Here's what I would suggest:

- Remove the horizon.
- Add some fog effects.
- Reduce contrast in base of statue.
- Add some greenish reflected light in statue (it is weird that eveything is green and the statue does not reflect this at all)
- Blend the border between the statue and water.
- In general, avoid dark edges (from pencil?) around objects, as it makes everything flat.
