This is merely the point where all light from the top of the object would intersect upon reflecting off the mirror. In the picture of the mountain, there's no reflection off a mirror, but there's a reflection off the water because it's light sensitive just like the retina and film.

Ray Diagrams - Concave Mirrors

Did you even look at the article you linked to, I'm sure you didn't uinderstand any of it. A lake is not a concave surface like the mirror in the illustrations, it is usually a flat surface unless diaturbed by wind or something else. The exception would be a body of water taken on a very large scale would be a convex surface, but for practical purposes is flat on a small scale.
