Is there a specific name for this type of reflection?

I tried googling.
I feel like it's too pretty to not have a specific name, or maybe I just don't know what it is.
As stated above, I know it is a reflection but I feel like it should have a specific name for the reflection of nature on water, cause it's just so pretty...

not sure what the reflection itself is called but the phenomena is called fresnel which is where a surface is more reflective the sharper the angle you look at it from is. like how water surface is transparent when you look right at it but it’s like a shiny mirror when you look from an angle like this
@mynameisbella I guess that's why you see reflections of the horizon in the distant road on a hot day.
