Definition Of Reflection

Definition Of Reflection:

 Reflection is the throwing back by a body or surface of light, heat, or sound without absorbing it. Reflection is not a formal element, but, it is a vital consideration in framing a composition/establishing a balance. Reflection can be used abstractly. I believe reflection can be used in water especially as the water reflects whatever is on top of it, in addition windows can also reflect objects similarly. 

Adjectives & Synonyms for 'Reflection':

• throwing back

This image represents reflection well as the reflection of the book almost complete the image, as it makes it into a whole circular figure.

  My own definition of reflection: When an image is identically reflected in another object.
