Hello all,

I’m having an issue. My sun is setting in a shot, yet for some reason, the tiny sliver of sun is casting a very wide reflection on my water body. Not too sure why this is happening. Change the source angle leaves the reflection proportionally just as wide. I don’t think this is realistic, but honestly I haven’t seen many photos taken at this angle in real life. If anyone has experienced this and has a fix, I would be very grateful!
