The wife says "this photo says it all about morning sickness!" I think she's right, good photo with the effect added.

very strange treatment, I like it. unfortunately for the whole "meeting the challenge thing," i find that any emotive/emotional content in this is drowned out by the post-processing.

Wow, very cool effect and it has great impact to your mood

well i can't say i like the inverted effect. It seems like it is a nice image otherwise. I would like to see the original

Great rendition of an event. It is very clean and the detail is sharp. 10.

Even though I'm a man, I wretching and the nausea you have portrayed by inverting this shot. Brave editing but you should be rewarded. Good luck!

I don't know if morning sickness is actually a mood, but the inversion certainly helps convey the feeling. I'm not sure if the color version would indicate the feeling in the better.

Oh man. . . . you did a GREAT job of depiciting that awful feeling!! I almost felt it again just looking at this -- and it's been a hundred years since I felt it. :) Good job.

Just looks gimmicky and unnecessary here, as if somebody has just discovered Photoshop.

I don't like the title, and I usually don't like gaudy special effects, but for some reason I find this quite appealing... great pose.7

I didn't catch this one, sorry.

I normally don't like negative images and I don't like the title, but this photo is exceptionally engaging. You can literally see the emotion & feeling of the model and I commend you on choosing a negative image for this (as I imagine the positive image is much less exceptional). You've used the tools available & lighting to make a stunningly beautiful statement. Very nice work. (10) (Only the 4th time I've ever given a 10.)

It's nice to see someone with the guts to use an effect like this. I like it & think it suits the photo & challenge well.

Quite evokative. Interesting processing - works well with this mood.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Maybe this could have been a great image, but I can't say because of these effects which are not for my taste. Sorry!

It seems like a great photo, but I really don't like the inversion ....

Very powerful image, you have done an awesome job of this

Not sure if this is a legal effect, but i think this was a very good use of this effect...

Looks like it would have been a nice image in positive. Dosen't really provoke a "mood" imho.
