Are the reflections in this image real or done in post?

I'll post the answer 3/31 (Tues) in the evening.

Thanks for your insight!

Added in post because you don't walk on water!

I'm going with real except for the deer. What gives the deer away is its reflection is perfect, not slightly blurred/rippled like the foliage directly to each side of it and between its legs.

I agree with Linda as the deer looks superimposed on the surface of the water, but I will add that some of the colors of the trees don't look right...

Looking closer, some of the short white sticks have sharp reflections, which the trees behind them (under them in the reflections) don't. Now I have a headache

The sticks look as though they overhang the water, and as such aren't a reflection, with the foliage further behind them...

I am going to say that the deer was added in post - both on shore and reflection.

Second that opinion. Deer added and it's reflection added.

On second study, there is no edge to the water/shore, the line between the upper and lower half of the pictures is straight with the image above and below identical.
I will say the image was "mirrored", with a bit of distortion/ripples added to the "reflection" then the deer was added to both halves.

Real, except for the deer, which was inserted in post in both iterations.

Regardless of real or fake... it's an awful picture. Outlandish colors. Just unpleasant to view. Sorry. But when you, post... you gotta take the bad with the good. No sugar coating.

HAHA! A bit off topic. I am curious where you live? This is Michigan, and these colors were subdued compared to the sugar maples 200 yds away the same morning. And they are very much exactly as you would have seen them in person. Whenever I leave Michigan I'm always struck by how much less colorful most other places are.
