You were so robbed. People just did not get it. I thought it was fantastic. One of the few 9's I gave out.

I didn't see this until now, but I like it! It tricked me, even though I submitted my shot flipped, too. I like it better flipped--it draws me in more.

nice perspective and cool idea nice lighting
 09/20/2005 07:53:40 PM
is this upside down? Very cool either way - just want to be sure my brain isn't playing tricks :)

Better than most subjects that were flipped. Leading lines not strong enough to compete with the pier pilings.
 09/19/2005 08:50:35 PM
This is too confusing (rotation). Need a bit more contrast. Great perspective lines though and very much inline with the challenge. 5

It's funny how when a somewhat "normal/regular" image gets fliped it becomes something so completely different...this is absolutely surreal, otherworldly even...so subtle but absolutely intriguing...wonderful depth.

Unless you were really standing on your head I don't see any reason to have this up side down.
 09/18/2005 12:07:20 AM
Lovely image of waves under the pier, but apparently it was submitted upside down.
 09/17/2005 10:40:24 PM
I think this photo would have been better right side up but I love the idea!
 09/17/2005 07:20:55 PM
wow! what an incredible capture underwater--very uniqe and reative, though I'd think I lke it better without the frame--10

The flip works here, nice job
 09/16/2005 08:50:41 PM
I like it,this is different.9
 09/16/2005 07:42:10 PM
upside down is disorienting
 09/16/2005 05:18:40 PM
Nice clean image with lots of good perspective. Good Job!

Flipping the picture - great idea! Very creative, compared to all the road, railway, building shots. Loved it.

Nice idea. Bit too noisy and colorless.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I wouldnt have flipped the image..
 09/15/2005 03:28:23 PM
Still liked it, but think that right-side-up looks better. 7
 09/15/2005 12:06:19 PM
whoa

What's wrong with it right side up?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/14/2005 02:28:11 PM
Good choice for the challenge. I think I would have liked it better right side up, but still a good photo.

The upside down does not work for me in this case - I can see what you are meaning.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/14/2005 12:53:32 PM
All my mind wants to do when I look at this photo is flip it back around so it's not taking the time to allow my eye to wander around and look at it. The effect doesn't work for me, but it looks like an otherwise interesting photo.
 09/14/2005 12:31:11 PM
this is a great, evocative photograph, which remarkably looks almost as good right-side up. great work!
 09/14/2005 10:33:36 AM
very creative idea making this under the pier shot unique! Great use of perspective. Very very cool!

Nice effect, but the picture is upside down, isn't it? Could use a little boost in contrast.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/14/2005 03:00:49 AM
Wow that's really cool. Awesome perspective. It's like walking down a hall way you're about to get drenched in.

Love when there's a double twist...kudos for flpping this upside down, wish more photographers would play with composition like this.
 09/14/2005 12:27:26 AM
VERY COOL. Like a watery matrix. I love the pilons. I can't exactly figure this out. Is it upside down? WOW -I like this alot.
