 Taken from a puddle of water, This photo was actually not my favorite of the group, until I came home and opened it on my laptop. The composition was strong, reflection was amazing, but something was off. I flipped it upside down and was thrilled to see that the result was so much more interesting.

Basic editing:
curves
color balance
slight sharpening
180 degree rotation.

cool shot, I love the missing silhouette. A definite tilt to the world when your not there.

Beautiful picture, great colors and framing. Doesnt seem tilted to me. Nice model pose... wierd that there is no reflection in the water. Good shot still.

Great photo. I like the concept and composition.

I love this shot, and frankly don't care if it whole-heartedly meets challenge criteria, but it did affect my scoring, since one assumes you "turn" things upside down, rather than tilt them upside down. But why didn't you tilt this more??? I would like to see this alittle sharper too, but still a great pic.

i really like this shot. i think the top might be a bit too dark though

Wow, me likes! Outside the bounds of this challenge's basic rules I would brighten up the top part a bit. Or - move down the horizon and add even more darkness in the top for drama.

a great picture, if only the sun wasn't so apparent in the water

I like the reflecion in this one. You should trying flipping it 180 degrees. I think it would be an interesting effect.
