    Thanks for the suggestion! The selection of "upper water" surfaces was a conscious choice by the worldbuilder. The common swampy water throughout the scene is of the same type of scene-wide water as our oceans (albeit without waves) and the upper pond water surfaces are two flat objects. Our scene-wide "ocean" water handles reflections differently than object-based water surfaces, which is why you're seeing a difference. I'll try to see if there's another pond water material I could use that feels OK in this situation, but we're not going to get the reflection that you're hoping for, so if I don't find a new surface that's fits and is clearly better then I probably won't make any change. Issue #70934
