Tower Reflections

By LilyWren
This puddle was just waiting for me as I stepped out of the pier at Blackpool! I caught the reflection and took quite a lot of shots!

I actually think this looks better rotated 180°, giving the effect that the tower is the right way up but photographed through some sort of weird heat haze. (Heat?!? In Blackpool?!? Wink )

Thanks for all your comments Smile
I think you may be right about the 180 deg - I did try it that way but my chap pursuaded me it was better the original way it had been taken....

As for Blackpool - the sun was there today but ooo t'wernt 'alf cowd ****...

that lens flare is unusual in this, I like that about it

Yes, Diana I agree. The lens flare is really unusual as was the sun just peeping behind! Quite odd. I didnt do anything much to it either other than adjusted the exposure and contrast a little.

Thanks for the comments Diana and Johnny Smile
