While taking a wonderful journey by motorcycles with a good friend and fellow DPC'er, we happened upon this lovely little pond near a vineyard. I stopped to see if I could get a reflection of the Goose and Steve rode on down the road. Just as I was about to hang it up he returned to see what I was up to and took a few shots too. I wonder if he'll submit one?

I've looked at this several times and still can't figure it out!

I'd like to see it right side up. Although this is interesting, the ripples are distracting, and I think it would be better to use the same crop but right side up. Good luck!

i think its upside down ?? confused me for a sec

edited after i spoke to you by PM
i think the position of the goose works really effectively, as your eye is drawn down the image through the reflections towards the reflected goose.
nice creative approach

Bit tricky to see - have you flipped the image?

Mmmm..... like an Impressionist's painting. Very well balanced with rich, pleasant colors. If I could make a crop suggestion, it would be to break up the top into right half frame width green and left half blue, by bringing the top down until it just excludes the white dot upper left/center. Yeah, you'd lose a lot of those leaves, but you don't need them up at the top left. The viewer will feel them. 8.

Very easy to get lost in this pic, not sure which way up I am! - fits challenge well

The inverted world concept elevates this above the common.

It takes time to realize what is going on in this pic and I think it is only a good thing! I like also the smallness of the bird and however, it is the biggest element in a photo! A little minus is that the photo is a little out of focus.

Neat idea, but there is so much going on that it is very hard for me to see what I am looking at. You had the benefit of seeing the entire scene and then finding an interesting part. Those of us seeing only this part might struggle a little as I am.
