Nicole! Very well captured. Probably you waited so long hours for taken this photo. Reflection and transparency. Both at same time. It so difficult to obtain transparency with mirroring effect in close up shots. And colors completely natural as in the nature. last sunday in Kaunos antique city I tried to got same scene. But but I must eat a lot of bread for being as you(this is an expression in turkey). warm hug master Nicole.
