Turning it sideways makes it more an image of symmetry than leaving it "normal" where it's just a landscape. The question is why did so many people find it necessary to turn their heads?

Interesting take on the challenge... I can't seem to decide if I like it or not...

I see a face with bigggg eyes :)
Perhaps boosting midrange levels a bit would help bring this out stronger and help counteract the natural reaction of tipping the head to see it as the mind knows it nature created it?

The sky seems to be a little overexposed/burnt.
You should try to underexpose a bit in those cases.

Great to see this creative twist on the 'lake reflection theme'. I wonder what would happen if it would be allowed to change the color balance and hue of the right side only... :) -7-

I actually like this angle. Very different but it really suits the challenge, imo.

Yep and thats exactly how I held my head to look at it. The beauty is lost on its side for me.
