Now it's getting good. :)

It took me 2 attempts today to get this image. The first time, I got to the location and got blasted by some seriously Arctic gusts of wind and snow. I didn't want to subject my gear to that, so I said forget it and went home. After about half an hour, I noticed the wind backed off a bit, so I tried it again. The roads were crazy slick, but it's not that far away. Managed to snap off about 4 of these before heading back. This was the best of the bunch. :)

This shot is amazing dear friend @winstonwolfe congratulations.
It must be very difficult to achieve a take this, the distance, the pulse and the precision must work together to achieve this wonderful shot
Many thanks spor share this wonderful image
I wish you a great Sunday

          I am still hoping to get my new camera soon. I imagine this was a rather tricky shot to get, looking right at a reflecting item and not getting the camera in the image, but still getting a very nice reflection. A week ago, I got what I thought was a really nice reflection sunset shot off the hood of my jeep, and from off of the roof. The hood ridge warped the sunset in just the right spots to give a really cool and unique effect, with my samsung smartphone.
          So how contorted did you feel your other hand and arm were to get that shot?, and has it recovered? (your arm). Looks like it would be as contorinist a shot as trying to fix a leaky sink faucet.

Oh this is no reflecting item. It's a K9 Crystal ball. I was shooting through it. :)
It only took me about 10 seconds to snap off about 5 shots, so no hand contorting. In fact the 10º horizontal winds and snow were the only complaint.

Oh, I thought the shot was a reflection. That's a pretty "cool" toy then.

What is the camera looking through to get this perspective? I have never heard of a lensball.

It's just a ball made of finely polished K9 crystal, which is a common material. Check out http://lensball.com.
They ship out of China. Two sizes are available: 60mm for $25, 80mm for $35.
I have the 80mm, it's about the size of a billiard ball.
They're definitely a gimmick item, but I fell in love with the images.

I know, me to!

Just discussing this with a colleague at work, and noticed the image in the ball is flipped horizontally and vertically.
Would that mean that a shot like this, (from instagram.com/lensball) has been photoshopped?
