Took the advice of several commenters and flipped it back right side up then decided to use selective desat. I've gotten mixed reviews with this take on it, but I like it.

I wonder how this would look if the black and white part had more contrast? Neat idea here, and good shot!

Normally I detest selective desat but that is just because it is so often used just for the sake of using it but here it really creates an interesting image. I still think the sky looks a bit flat, could use a contrast boost but this is a very nice image, gotta try this sometime with my landscapes. Nice work!

Ah... selective desat. Kinda reminds me of what i did in one of my first selective desat exercises. This is great Jimmy. One suggestion is that maybe you burn the sky a bit so it just has a bit of definition to it to bring out the clouds. Great!

That blue is something!!! NOt sure about the desat but the rest of the coloration more than makes up for it. VERY PRETTY!

I like the desat idea, very cool, makes the shot interesting as well as picturesque.

Neat idea, but I agree that the sticks in the water take away from the effect. If you can successfully clone them out, I'd do it.

Naw... flip it back over. There are sticks coming out of the sky which looks funky. I do like the addition of the sky (or is that now the water?) :-) Your colors look better in this version

Oh no! I'm a bit dizzy :) The thing about reflections is the strong imdication of a horizon plane. I think this one is lost so I feel a bit woozy.
