sorry about this one...

I suspect that it is the vent from a Roman hypocaust, the original under-floor heating.

John, not even the Romans were dull enough to put a vent from a Roman hypocaust, the original under-floor heating, on the second floor of a 14th-century building.
I mean!
Cheers, Chris

Does this resolve the reflection issue?

I do like this photo. It see it as an excellent Christmas card cover without being 'in your face' about it. You should consider submitting it, along with many of your other works, to a stock photo agency.

Finally see it after the advice to look directly above it. I think what fooled me is that there seem to be flat pavers in a row; so I didn't expect a puddle to reflect the image.

Not bad given you are working on the 256 KB Lounge upload limit version of the >10 MB JPEG file that comes straight out of my camera.

I had fun with it
Do you shoot in JPEG or raw/DNG/whatever, or both?

The shot I was after was this one.

That's really quaint and picturesque!

The reflection of the window in the puddle looks weirdly anachronistic, like an air conditioning grill, or maybe a glitch in the holodeck imaging scanners.

I appreciate your appreciation but I have no interest in selling my images, at least not unless someone absolutely insists they pay me for a print (only happened once).

My camera records both a RAW (Canon .CR3 format) and a JPEG file. For post-processing I have DxO PhotoLab and Affinity Photo. The end result of any post-processing is a 16 bit uncompressed TIFF. If I want to print anything I invariably do that from the TIFF using an ancient version of Photoshop. I stitch panoramas using either MS Image Composite Editor or Affinity Photo. To upload to The Lounge I reduce the many MB TIFF to the 256 KB Lounge limit using the RIOT plugin in IrfanView.

...or maybe a glitch in the holodeck imaging scanners.
