Some reflective surfaces such as glass buildings, rippled waters, a car’s metallic body, steel vessels or even bubbles can make a subject look funny, deformed or fragmented. If you are working close to your subject, use a macro lens or the camera’s macro mode and switch to Landscape mode (or set an aperture of f/8 or f/11), to achieve a greater depth‑of‑field.
