Mirroring on a summer afternoon...

Hi, Jim tried to explain to You how these reflexions could come up but it is obvious that He could not do it... At any case the file is not modified even if I never could explain it as Jim did... Have a nice day
The reason I am quiet has nothing to do with physics, but has to do with my estimation of the likelihood of further explanation on my part convincing you.
Correction: one person called him a liar, a whole load of people said it's a nice picture.

... it's a nice and real picture.

Kumsal has made it a pattern of accusing photographers on this and other forums and other photography sites of faking photographs, using AI, manipulating, and otherwise being "dishonest" with their work.
In fact, his posts are almost exclusively of such attack nature.
To call his posts offensive is putting it mildly.
It certainly has something to do with a camera setting.
Hasselblad can also make people disappear when taking multiple shots, depending on the settings.
I have a lot of questions about this photo, which is hard to explain physically.
Anyway, I didn't mean to assume you had bad intentions.
I'll stick to this: beautiful photo with a questionable appearance.

My suggestion would be to move the whole thread to fight club or somewhere where people can work out their agression. No disrespect intended to anyone, I'm just a techie who likes reading about cameras and seeing images.
And to the OP: I like your picture.

Sometimes I think life's too short to argue with someone who you aren't going to convince no matter what.
Here is a rendering showing the effect :
You can see that in the direct light path from the window to the camera we can see that the sun is reflected in the upper row. In the reflection of the water however the sun appears in the lower row as now the rays of light follow an additional angle.
Even better, take a look at this animation:
Grazing angle animation
As the grazing angle becomes smaller and smaller- simulated by raising up the reflective plane the ray paths become more similar and the reflection will match the direct view. That's the reason why people go way down low with their cameras or smartphones over puddles to take pics. It's to have the shallowest possible grazing angle to get a closer match between reflection and direct view.
In the real example at the start of the thread you have a group of houses all at different angles and the reflected sky is not perfectly homogeneous in appearance. That adds to the difference in the reflection as well.

I have 2 questions about this would this work with any Hasselblad or only specific models?
How many shots until it makes people disappear?
you know, my mother -in-law is coming soon and I could offer to shot a portrait.
It may be worth the investment. :-D

The point of view of a reflection is different from the point of view of the inlet pupil of the camera lens.

Print and hang.
Love the warm peaceful feeling this image emanates. Beautiful neighborhood.

Sorry, I was going to stay quiet, but felt the need to call this out. You might not have directly called the Op a liar, but you did say that the Ops Photo “…brakes all the laws of physics….” If that were true then the Op would be lying. Perhaps you did not realize what you were saying, but that is the same as calling someone a liar in my book.
