post challenge Thanks guys for all the votes and comments. I wasn't sure how this would due because of the blown out sky on the bottom, but I hoped for the best and hit submit. I'm really glad you guys liked it so much and thank you SO much for all the feedback! :]

I think this is fantastic in every sense of the word. The decision to flip it vertically is inspired and makes the shot. In my top five shots of the challenge. 9.
OK. I will buy it! I am not giving good scores to compositions based on reflections, because this would be a lazy way to achieve symmetry. But I think you were very creative, and got a really interesting composition. Also, the blue sky on the water is a very interesting achievement, considering the washed out real sky.
