>made me wonder whether the image isn't actually flipped

Fantastic image. Every time I see it on the main screen I'm forced to come back and stare at it for a good while.
To what extent are those the true colors of the sky? Did you use a filter or do any PS adjustments later?

Also, I noticed that the sky on top (especially on the left side, but it does go throughout the full length) is stripped, sort of more jagged, whereas the relflection down bellow is absolutely smooth. With such a crystal clear reflection it made me wonder whether the image isn't actually flipped - cause I would expect those type of strippes in a surface of water. I might be wrong on this - but just curious.

Once again, phenomenal shot!!!

Kasia

Well!Ms. Mel Brackstone,
this one is realy unique as many of your desrve and elegant works in your portfolio.
the intense red colour tone,you have used and staurted it, now works well to catch the eyes and for "Hot hot hot!!!" project indeed.
reflection and composition is realy attractive, would be nice if you had added some information about the exposure (shutter,iso,f-stop, any filter used and etc)
thanks!

Astonishing...

Not only the image, of course, magnifically conceived, done, coloured, and so on.

But most of all 'cause you saw in it not a simple reflection, as it would be easy to name, but a dreaming mirage. A dream of photo, in effect.

I cannot give BIP ;-) but only plaude at those who gave it to you!
