Effective in negative, but also really quite nice when I stare at it for awhile, then turn and look at my blank white wall where it now appears as a positive.
A striking composition, albeit an unconventional landscape. I also see possibilities for non-negative and landscape format compositions (especially with such mirror perfect reflections).
I assume you tried this image without the inverted color scheme? I think the inverted color kinda takes away from what could otherwise be a really nice image...
