After the Rain - Take 2 - Flipped

Yesterday I posted a photo of a tree reflection in a puddle. I wondered what it would look like if I flipped it in Photoshop, both vertically and horizontally. Well here it is again with the two flips. What do you think?

No time for photos today because I have had a busy day and out for lunch too.

[Connie Little]

Looks like a painting. Great idea to do the flip.

[Peter Day]

Very interesting

[HelenM]

I agree, painterly and very interesting.

[Peter H]

Babs, it still works as a puddle reflection, as the (real) tree could now be to your left (I think) without any other fixed items to orientate the viewer. Nice to see them both.

[Peter]

Well if anything I quite prefer this image, don't know if its because my brain knows trees grow up and out the ground, its a interesting image Babs

[Denise Wood]

Great reflection :)

[sally agnew]

Love them both, but I am obsessed with reflections ( as well as clouds :))) )

[Poppo Livy]

Flipping great

[Sam]

Now it looks (almost) normal!!!

[Paul]

I think it's great :)

[Lou Ann]

This one is sure easier to understand, because the bottom of the tree is where it's supposed to be. Lol

[Helen Sanderson]

surreal

[KWind]

Very pretty! I like these types of shots.

[Jane Morley]

You wouldn't know if you hadn't been told! Excellent.

[Merrelyn]

Lovely, I like it both ways :)

[Lois]

Very pretty flipped!

[Jennifer]

works so well!

[Jorlam]

i often flip my shots of reflections - it adds a different dimension to the image and makes the viewer think.. it certainly lifts it out of the ordinary.. well done Babs..

[Danette Thompson]

I like it! Looks abstract!

[Margaret Brown]

Lovely clear reflections!

[carol white]

A super reflection

[Islandgirl]

Very cool angle!

[bkb in the city]

Well done

[Pat Knowles]

You have a tree growing upwards & a blue sky! Amazing how you can flip to suit the occasion! Hope you enjoyed your lunch!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I like it this way! In fact I almost commented about that because I was wondering how it would look.

[photogq]

interesting

[Helen S J]

What a striking image - loved it immediately. Instant fav

[Pyrrhula]

The first was more reflection like. Both pic.`s are nice ofcourse. this one is beautiful processed.

[Henri Russell]

This is very interesting.

[Carole Sandford]

Interesting reflection.

[Taffy]

I like the flipped version. The other has a more abstract impressionistic feel. This one, impressionistic, but more realistic as well.

[Babs]

@peadar Had to think about this comment and yes you are right. I couldn't take the photo this way though because there was a boat trailer just out of shot and also the sunlight was wrong too.

[Babs]

@jorlam thanks Jorlam. I very often flip reflection photos too and have done quite a few.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

This is really lovely Babs and the reflections are beautiful.

[*lynn]

both are wonderful ... I like this one the most

[Gayle]

Both images are fantastic! Great idea to process with the two flips! :-)

[Marnie]

Looks terrific Babs. Great idea.

[Ethel]

I like seeing this effect but prefer the original in the long run.

[Jane Pittenger]

Creative and it makes it almost an abstract

[Kathy A]

Looks great although I think I prefer the original
