I find that in this case the reversal of the point of view forced me to get a more balanced look at the whole picture. In the regular way, my eye would spontaneously focus on the top part only, that would be immediately identified as the real subject because it is clearer and brighter. Here I take the time to go through the whole image in order to understand it. By doing that, I notice that I am more sensitive to the picturesque aspects, for example the vivid green and the horizontal composition.
Great idea to flip it- I'm really drawn to the area which is most colorful, but by having the reference point upside down, I look at the other parts equally. Well done!
@etienne Thank you so much Etienne for your thoughts on this upside down image. After reading your analysis I agreed with it - it explains my instinctive preference for the inverted format and gives me ideas to consider in the future.
Many thanks again - cheers Rob
