The storm shots are impressive, i do not thing the house lasted much longer with waves like that, and  what is covering the car, sea foam ?

Hi Les - interesting thoughts and it looks good flipped! Food for thought - and thanks for that.
I have no issue with photoshopping and turning an image inside out :) The intended use for this image however is for my
Photographer Tourist website - so I kind of have to be careful - image I have a client wanting to shoot THAT scene only to arrive
and its flipped around  ;D ;D ;D I would probably get sued for mis representation haha
Maybe I should put a disclaimer on my website in future  ;)

Thanks Anirban :)

Armando  - that is a restaurant - (one of a few right on the beach) that gets hammered year after year. I dont think the insurance companies covers them anymore, but they are so popular and busy - they dont care. After a huge storm - they just ask everyone to support them so they can re-build - and in no time - its back to business

The car  - yep = sea foam

Elsa, is that the Brass Bell? Wonderful shot. Very glad it's not my Lambo.

Also, was that shot of the lighthouse taken facing roughly south? If so, it might be a wonderful place for star photography...

Nice composition and the whites must have been a bit to keep an eye on. I am not sure about the visual analysis above but I like it better flipped as well.

Never expected to see such a big difference when flipped.
So flipped it is, or go again and shoot it from the other side  :)

mmmmm better one of YOU come out to shoot it :)

I prefer it unflipped - but I think it's because I was there so I "see" it in another light.

A true postcard shot and PP!

Just for the record I see no major difference or impact between the flipped on and the original in any way.
