what an interesting, and well executed image. will it sound self-serving to say i saw what you did almost immediately? however, what you did was superb. the illusions created by the pool deck above water put the boat in a world of its own, a tiny little globe of water. o, and those colours... yes. o yes.
I've commented on every other image in this challenge and have saved this one for last. It simply fascinates me.
At first glance it looks like a toy in a swimming pool, but then I notice the trees and a lamp post? in the reflection suggesting a real boat. If it is real, how to achieve the effect – a fisheye looking down? But then how to keep yourself out of the frame.
Further review I notice WB seems different on the from & back of the boat, auggesting mixed light and a toy of some sort.
Then there’s the title – Upside Down adds to the puzzlement.
An overhead shot of a boat with mixed WB and looks like it could be a toy would not get a good score from me. The reflections keep me coming back again and again. Anything that makes the viewer spend time on it deserves high marks. Well done. I just hope the speed voters just blow past this without giving it due consideration.
Tricky! I've been looking at it for quite a while now, and I think/guess/hope I know how you got there. Great idea, great colours, and - if you are so inclined - a picture that is impossible to pass with just a casual glance.
Cool idea. However the blue surface is less interesting than the 4 corners and it dominates the scene. The boat is a little on the busy side with all the shapes and colors.
very interesting effect - took some time to really understand - nicely done - I hope you explain whether you had to hold your breath to get this one (9)
