 This is actually a reflection, rotated 180 degrees and cropped. I really liked the result when I rotated it, as it gave it a whole different depth, almost as an illusion. Thought this might work for this challenge, but we shall see and I will probably get nailed hard because it wasn't truly done "in-camera" and I used a PhotoShop filter with NeatImage :-)

I like that there is no reflection of the sky, it adds another dimention to the image. Beautiful job!

The dark areas are a little dark for my liking. Good effect though.

The bottom half of the photograph really appeals to me and I love the different techniques applied from streaks of color in the reflection to the Pointillism used on the lower right. I would have loved to see a tighter crop of the lower half. Good work.
