Just for fun, see if you can choose which photo is upside down. Same image but just reversed. Sorry about the lousy photo quality, these are photos off of a monitor.

Interesting puzzle. I believe the first image is "right side up." I'll hold my rationale for a little while, but I think there is one critical clue.

Top one seems right side up cuz the colors look richer in water, polarized by reflecting.
Also, I spoze a bit of surface motion erased the utility pole from the reflected scene.

Thanks for the helpful criticism. Your response alone has made it all worthwhile.

My estimate at this time is bottom one is inverted to upside down.

Top pic.
What I meant to say was top pic is correct, lower pic inverted. All to do with the angle it was taken from.

Sure. The view bounced off the water is seen from from a lower elevation.
I was immediately taken by the color but the elevation thing has no room for subjectivity.

Yes. There is a big difference in the amount of information in the two views. At first, I was misled because the sky is better in the reflection, but that is because the light reflected from the surface of the water at a low angle is polarized.

Years ago, my Grandmother had a picture hanging of the Grand Tetons with a water reflection, like your Tree of this morning. After she passed and we were clearing up her home, I discovered that for all these years she had the picture hang upside down.
Love you Grandmother.
Love you Grandmother.

I think the first image is "right side up". I wont say why I think that. I thrust you did no other Photoshop than to flip the image between the first and second.
