erm... no... thanks for the comments, but I've documented myself on the reflectivity of the ocean from space and the scene is perfectly normal. if the sun hits it like that that region is obviously in daytime, and you can see that by the fact that there are no lights on the earth in the region. it's just black because that fit with the mood of the scene, and i liked it like that. perfectly normal. so that's 'reflection,' not specularity.
