 Taken by a river in the Yorkshire Dales, over exposed by two full stops. I originaly took this playing with HDR but the over exposed photo worked very well inverted!!

Over saturated the original by about 50% then inverted, resized, usm and sfw

What a tough challenge this was. I like this, but I think the oversaturation might have hurt you. It is a little harsh. The other problem (out of your control) is the Basic editing parameters. There's a lot of detail in this image that either got lost in the JPEG comression or the 640 size limit. I suspect it looked much better before resizing/compressing. Also, I'm very careful with USM after resize. It's powerful, and these days, I'm actually finding more and more use for high pass sharpen.

All that said, you did better in this challenge than I did! (which doesn't say much).

Some very nice reflections in this, but for some reason this seems very harsh and noisy.
