Is a reflection a picture or an image?

Question

The reflection of your face (or anything else) in water or a mirror:

is that called a picture or an image?

Answer 1

I would use image. We do use the phrase

a mirror image

Picture has an implication of it being an artefact, something made. I would not say

a mirror picture

We could also just say

I can see my face in the mirror.

or

I can see my reflection in the mirror.
