I saw "ray_bounces" tutorial  but I don Know in my preview image there is not imagen of "backplate"
only floor and walls
what can I do

thank you

Use an Hdri environment of a river scene if you can find one?
Convert that backplate image to an Hdri if not?

put in a plane behind the mirror and map the backplate image to it as a decal?

i have not tried the last one but i'm pretty sure it would work

normally the best way to get an image with a good reflection is to use an Hdri and backplate from the same location

Correct. You can't convert a jpeg to an actual HDRI. jpeg is 8 bit, HDRI is 32 bit. All you will get is reflection of the environment, but not lighting information.

I have used keyshot's enviroment & backplate (by defect)
but i don't understan why my background don't arrive to edge

Got to Preferences, and check "Adjust Realtime Window to Backplate". Now when you drop in a backplate, it will automatically adjust the realtime window. Or you match the aspect ratio of the realtime window manually to the back plate in the "realtime" tab.
