100% agreed. That is what I see, you can clearly see the line of the reflection of the rock. It is slightly darker due to Fresnel effect. The imperfection is most likely due to ripples of the water surface. The rest of the image also totally consistent with a picture of a lake or a pond beyond a fence.

This is just silly.

Now that I look again, I can't tell of that's a jet or a leaf floating on the water.

TA says there were a series of photos, and the jet circled, so I assume it's a reflection or something, but... yeah, if they had a series of pics, this must be one of the worst, least convincing ones they could have picked for the article.

I think it is the best they, and that is why they did not show the others. Probably quite easily debunked based on multiple photos.
