Although, its beauty is undeniably beautiful, there is a secret you have to know! 🤫 The reflection in the photo is not from a puddle or water reflection. 

It’s actually a glass reflection. You can either use a glass, small mirror or even your phone! All you need to do to get this majestic photo is to put a reflective thing near your camera, so that it produces an appearance like a reflection of a shadow like from a lake. After you got the perfect angle and pose, all you need to do is snap, snap, snap! 📸
