With the reflection of the trees, I thought this was real. |

I thought this was one of the most creative/interesting shots in the challenge. I hoped it would finish much better than it did. |

At first glance I thought it was an overhead shot of a boat in a coral lagoon. Very creative. |

Very cool... I did not guess this was an underwater shot! So clever! |

what an interesting, and well executed image. will it sound self-serving to say i saw what you did almost immediately? however, what you did was superb. the illusions created by the pool deck above water put the boat in a world of its own, a tiny little globe of water. o, and those colours... yes. o yes. |

Oh wow I would have never guessed you shot this from under water! How very cool. |

I've commented on every other image in this challenge and have saved this one for last. It simply fascinates me.
At first glance it looks like a toy in a swimming pool, but then I notice the trees and a lamp post? in the reflection suggesting a real boat. If it is real, how to achieve the effect ΓΆ€“ a fisheye looking down? But then how to keep yourself out of the frame.
Further review I notice WB seems different on the from & back of the boat, auggesting mixed light and a toy of some sort.
Then thereΓΆ€™s the title ΓΆ€“ Upside Down adds to the puzzlement.
An overhead shot of a boat with mixed WB and looks like it could be a toy would not get a good score from me. The reflections keep me coming back again and again. Anything that makes the viewer spend time on it deserves high marks. Well done. I just hope the speed voters just blow past this without giving it due consideration. |

Tricky! I've been looking at it for quite a while now, and I think/guess/hope I know how you got there. Great idea, great colours, and - if you are so inclined - a picture that is impossible to pass with just a casual glance. |

I'll wager this is shot underwater, looking up? Quite a nifty view! |

Cool idea. However the blue surface is less interesting than the 4 corners and it dominates the scene. The boat is a little on the busy side with all the shapes and colors. |

This is very cool. It's like the boat is on a water planet. |
