Apologies to E. C. Escher
Now maybe you can explain this, "Apologies to E. C. Escher" ? Why??
I love the picture. It is beautiful! The shadows and reflection.....WOW

Escher was a dutch artist who specialized in very odd distortions of reality, or sometimes finding the oddness in the real, as he did in this particular one. I was taken by the similarity.
That last one is an interesting picture. Obviously a lot of reflection, and then there is that fish!
Yes there is oddity there, but interesting as well.
Escher obviously had a very keen eye to see aspects of particular scenes in nature that may escape the notice of many. I think you also have such an eye. And then, aiming the camera in such a way as to bring out the aspect you've seen - bravo!
Thanks Al. That is one of the nicest things you can say to a photographer. Here's another look from a slightly different perspective:

Barbarian you seem to relly have captured the essence of escher's work.
