This looks more on its side than upside down. (If those are trees at the right that are growing toward the left, anyway.) I like the abstractedness, but I think it would be a lot better if the 'noise' could be less noticeable. Since the picture is already blurry, runing it through despeckle half a dozen times (that seems such a strange thing to suggest) might help smooth things out a bit.
nice. this is like a painting. the conscious choices you've made here probably won't help your score, but regardless your photo is a work of art. thumbs up.
Vertical is nice but I'm having a hard time figuring out what I am looking at here... it looks like a few trees and some city lights at night maybe... hard to tell what is upside down here though...
