Photohunters: Upside Down

Photobucket

I like reflection shots but sometimes it can be disorienting when an image is upside down. I think I prefer the second shot because there is a frame of reference with part of the photograph right side up, and part is a reflection. The first house which only shows the reflection is too upside down for me.

Great minds! I flipped some reflection photos too. You are right, something about that house looks very strange. But it's a cool looking photo.

Have a nice weekend.

I like both shots, actually. Though I definitely see what you mean about how the first shot can be disorienting! :)

I guess a lot of us went with reflections. Yours are beautiful...

I decided on a reflection this week as well. Mine is a much more common reflection though.

Marites said...

I like the disorientation of the first shot.

Hard to believe they are reflections!

I played too :)

Rebecca Mecomber said...

Same here, I like the reference to balance the photo. Gorgeous house!

Here's mine... kinda wordy today. I didn't want to go on a trapeze bar and I have no pics of mountains. :S

I don't know. I sort of like the reflections without references. It makes you stop and do a double take. Both your pictures are very good, though. I think it is a matter of taste which way you prefer the reflections.

a very cool shot. a watercolor and a landscape all rolled into one

Unknown said...

It really is disconcerting to look at some things turned upside down.

Great reflection in the second photo.

Nice reflections Carver.

dixymiss said...

I have to agree, there's something about the second shot that appeals to my minds' eye ~ must be frame of reference. Happy hunting!

Ayie said...

such a beautiful reflection, it totally mimics everything!
