This is quite interesting...like the beatles lyric....I'm not sold on the extreme right side....might have been a 10 with that cropped out IMHO. Still a solid 8 in my book!

Very nice, but I have trouble seeing the picture as the camera saw it. But a beautiful composition.

I think the choice to invert the image is a little gimmicky - but it is really well shot and composed - so I will just look at the image by standing on my head...9

I don't like that you flipped the image and used the reflection as the main focal point. It's hard to look at.

Really makes you stop and look to see what you're seeing. I like it.

Typically I don't care for inverted photographs, they really seem to bug my mind for some reason. This one I actually like, it seems a little more purposeful and looks good. Excellent colors as well. Very well done photo!

what a fun image to look at, flipped my laptop for a different view. Personally I would of cropped the right hand side off to the bricks, it is distracting

Fantastic. I had to save this and flip it to realize that the "waking" world looks quite normal :) 10

Reflection flippid. Pretty cool although I think it would have been great right side up.

Great use of Beatles lyrics for this shot - the photo does have a good "dream" quality about it.

second shot of this I've seen this week - what are the odds?

Love this perspective, nicely observed with the reflection, and the flip made me stop and process - great work
