Taken from a puddle of water, This photo was actually not my favorite of the group, until I came home and opened it on my laptop. The composition was strong, reflection was amazing, but something was off. I flipped it upside down and was thrilled to see that the result was so much more interesting.
Basic editing:
curves
color balance
slight sharpening
180 degree rotation.

Beautiful picture, great colors and framing. Doesnt seem tilted to me. Nice model pose... wierd that there is no reflection in the water. Good shot still.
I love this shot, and frankly don't care if it whole-heartedly meets challenge criteria, but it did affect my scoring, since one assumes you "turn" things upside down, rather than tilt them upside down. But why didn't you tilt this more??? I would like to see this alittle sharper too, but still a great pic.
Wow, me likes! Outside the bounds of this challenge's basic rules I would brighten up the top part a bit. Or - move down the horizon and add even more darkness in the top for drama.
