Great capture! I wonder if calm waters would not have made your "dead fish" seem more "dead".

I voted this pretty high, as I thought the rotation was intentional. It is a much better picture in the submitted aspect than it was when I straightened it out! This sort of focusing on the forms and shapes, rather than the actual things they 'are' is really interesting to me just now. Turning it on its side like this makes the sky, lake, trees all irrelevent and focuses on the shapes.

Raspii, I simply did not understand the purpose in the rotation. Creative as it may be, I just asked myself why and couldn't come up with an answer... It's still a nice shot :)

I gave this a 9. I thought the rotation was a good, creative idea.

Wow! I'm glad to see a very bold creative move that didn't get shot down! Sure, it could have placed higher, but it made top 50 which is top 20% in this case. And you didn't even end up with a more than normal number of 1-4s. That must be very gratifying. Good work.

For those of you (probably not the ones reading this) who doubted or scored me lower because of it, the rotation was indeed intentional. While I lost some points for doing it, I gained more than I lost. Thanks to all who took the time to see and understand.

Like the abstract graphic treatment of the natural subject

Comment by KarenB:
Initial=cool abstract
Composition=would almost be convincing if the sky was as grey as the water
Clarity (focus, details)=hard for me to tell if you intended for this to be soft or not
Exposure=fair
Interesting or Emotive=interesting in the horizontal if that is what you intended.
