A rare find

In Finland—at least where I live—large puddles are extremely rare. Even in spring, when the snow melts. That’s why the puddle is emphasized.

This one got me thinking....wait, what? (closer look) - and I immediately thought of a repeated scene, I've seen, where a person is looking at the artwork puzzled, and after the pause turns the piece 180 degrees and hangs it back on the wall and says, 'Fixed it!'...only this time I turn it back and say, 'Nope, he had it right to begin with!'

Hahaha! Thank you, Frank! :)

Alvin, sorry I don't see it, and disagree with inverting any reflection for an effect, IMHO it's grasping at straws to make an image more interesting when it ain't.

Here is the image without any cropping: https://ibb.co/C3L7WmdJ

But I feel like the bottom part of the uncropped image is still a little messy, and I'm not quite sure about the crop yet.

And I wanted to save this juxtaposition — at least in this shot.

Don’t apologize — it’s fair.

This is just an experiment. There’s little point in photographing nature as it is. What matters more is discovering something that captivates the viewer, even within an ordinary landscape. That’s when progress becomes possible. IMHO.

Yes, just differences of philosophies, and I’m all for experimenting but I still believe the superior image of “A Rare Find” would be a non inverted one.

Since the framed photograph has a universal mounting system, it can easily be turned upside down — depending on your mood.😀

My mood ! ;)
