Dragonfly Reflection Mosaic Garden Bird Bath

I've been wanting to do a bird bath design with a dragonfly for a while, but I've been trying to think how to do it so it didn't look like the dragonfly was under the water. Then it came to me that you get really good reflections on still water. So this design represents a dragonfly that has landed on some rushes next to a still pool and the scene is being reflected onto the surface. 

The dragonfly has jade iridescent tiles for the wings, so in some light angles it slightly blends into it's surroundings, which a real dragonfly would do. But when the light angle catches the iridescence the wings shine with metallic gold and magenta.
