Earth, Water and Sky
Usually I am against rotating images. I always like to show the nature as it is. However I found this image interesting when flipped upside down. I used CL Polirized filter to get the dead branches, stones in lake bed. This is Bear Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park, CO at an altitide of 9400ft. Nikon DX format, Full frame, 12mm, 1/8 sec, hand held. Appreciate your views.

a completely unique perspective, personnelly, I believe that an image which makes one to think that how it would have executed before reading it in to the caption, and then about the photographer's sense to click and to present it in the situation, is definitely a creative work. and a person Who think and one who click both are really creative if they get the same meaning without a talk.
I feel this image is one who does this.... Congrats and thanks for this beautiful work.

Hi Shankar,
This image appeals at the level of a metaphor; what was given to us and what has been made out of that. we have upsidedowned nature in such a short span of time. In this sense this picture is a strong critique of what we have done to the place where we live. Under such circumstance inverting a picture is just a creative tool. The image also has a surreal feel to it especially the way the lake bottom has merged with the sky reflection.
Thanks for sharing.

It took me some time to comprehend what I am seeing here! It is so different!! The calm water is something which has made this image possible and an excellent seeing as usual by you!
