On my yesterday's posting my friend logiloglu commented like this... i would love to see it upside down. So here you are, Gerhard! *wink* Just curious on what you great photographers are thinking about.*smile* Hugz, Monika

Monika - Beautiful shot. Myself, I think I prefer the original one (on the left). It makes me sense to my head and having the light coming from the top left down towards bottom right draws my eye in and through the image. The right one I start at the bottom left and as I move up for some reason my eye follows the curl of the light and heads back down towards the bottom right without traveling to the top, darker area. Doesn't do that on the left one. shrug

thank you very much, Monika. i prefer the uside down, because i am always looking at pictures in this way.when i catch a reflexion, for me it is always upside down, it`s one of matter when i compose such images.!!!!!!!!!! #:O) !!!!!!

Thank you guys... now I'm happy I've posted the left one... the original to the gallery :o) As you have mentioned before... from the light to the dark. That one on the right didn't draw my eyes in... like Donald said. Just wasn't sure after reading Gerhard's comment so I thought of posting it to the forum for showing the difference and getting some advice. I'm still learning... Thanks again! Hugz, Monika
