I was very surprised to see this did not rank much higher. I loved this photo. If this is what we have to look forward to, can't wait to see your upcoming entries.

This is really well done. It looks abstract and painterly at the same time.
05/19/2002 09:43:00 PM
this looks almost mystical, awesome photo.
05/19/2002 08:31:00 PM
This shot is great. You've really used upside-down to destroy my sense of 'usual'. Nicely done.

Nice reflection -- the trees are virtually perfect. I find myself wishing that the branch and rocks and dead leaves weren't in the picture, but short of you trudging into the water and taking them out, I don't know what you could do about it. Along those lines, I'd also love to see this same shot taken on a slightly less cloudy day to get some more of that blue in the reflection -- the cloudy portions let me see through the water just a bit too easily. But, since you can't control the weather... :-)

i really like this one, mostly because it is more original than the others that used reflections in water.
05/16/2002 06:38:00 PM
yeah. no one else got this down quite right. mad props.
05/16/2002 07:17:00 AM
Without the title, I would wonder why you hadn't rotated it 180 degrees. I think it might have been more effective if you cropped out the bushes in the top right though. Very surrealistic.

Wow... may I frame it?
05/15/2002 11:37:00 PM
wow this is an awesome picture definitely a 10 how did you do it
05/15/2002 10:50:00 PM
this is beautiful...really really nice.
05/15/2002 05:42:00 PM
this is a great photo. i love the log - it adds a lot to the picture. this is one of the best reflection pictures for this challenge.
05/15/2002 03:07:00 AM
This kind of shot was done so many times, but this was one of the few I think was done really REALLY well.
05/14/2002 08:34:00 PM
wow, this picture totally fooled me at first...amazing job, nice setup unbelievable
05/14/2002 04:13:00 PM
I like how you've made static objects seem to be in motion...well-cropped to show (hide?) false perspective...
05/14/2002 11:35:00 AM
Very good! (fisheye?) I really like the "objects" in the water. I'm not certain whether I like the rocks on the shore or not (right upper corner).
Photo 10 Creative 10 Upsidedown 9 total 10
Are the trees really "fall" color? (i.e. was this photo really taken last week?) (you really nailed this one!)
05/13/2002 06:19:00 PM
Very clear, bit of an overdone idea though. 8/10
05/13/2002 05:29:00 PM
Niiiiiiice...
05/13/2002 05:00:00 PM

05/13/2002 03:34:00 PM
Nice shot good use of the reflection to hide the actual aspect of the photograph.
05/13/2002 03:34:00 PM
Nicely done. Good job.
05/13/2002 12:44:00 PM
nice reflcetion shot... it looks like YOU were upside down to make this one! Good job...
05/13/2002 12:43:00 PM
Great photo. Must've been hard to get a shot when the water was that still.
05/13/2002 12:00:00 PM
Very clever. In my top 4
05/13/2002 11:57:00 AM
Very creative photo....
05/13/2002 11:23:00 AM
much better than the other reflections.
05/13/2002 10:06:00 AM
Interesting perspective.
05/13/2002 08:04:00 AM
Nice use of a reflection here, it's very clear what we're looking at with the added debris. Well done.
05/13/2002 07:46:00 AM
This is very artistic. I will bet that people either love or hate it. I hope it is seen as art.
