I am totaly amazed this did as well as it did. The only reason I submitted the entry was to see if anybody would comment on seeing a bear( or teddy bear) that the brush and its reflection create (with a little imagination). Maybe its just my imagination.
Beautiful mirrored trees, yet, in this case, at least for me, the artificial diagonal (the tilted horizon), even though it makes for a nice criss-cross pattern, doesn't really sell the concept of diagonal. ~5
A intelligent use of a tilt in this composition. The rendering of this beautiful natural scene contributes seamlessly, lends itself to angle purposefully, and appears to have minimized the self conscious effect of the technique.
too busy and confusing for my taste, but those sure are nice reflections. I can't get past the unlevelness. If I relax my eyes and view it as an abstract it works better for me, I'll grade it a 7 for keeping my interest.
