No, of course.

There would be less fog between your nose and the reflection on the 
water, than between your afore referred nose and the tree itself. It is 
simply complicating things and I don't know if it very comfortable ;-)

The camera catches the reflection in the water, not the tree, but also 
the tree as a matter of fact in Graham's photo you get both.

Right in terms of geometry and with a reference to the tree.
