One more comment The top (bottom is not necessarily over exposed it might be a real bright day you as a photographer can make the exposure what ever you want to get the effect you want you obiously used pattern metering, play with spot and segment metering as well as pattern would not have helped with this shot as pattern was the best chouce but if it was the correct way up spot on the trees lock it and then frame your shot and take it the pool would have been much darker but correct way up it would be understood. Just an extra note for you.

Try using a half graduated ND filter to even the exposure remember the refelection will take twice the time to expose as compared with the above reflection informationas its recording a reflection so if you use a 1/2 nd grey filter for the information above the reflected water you should get a better exposure.

Totally agree your image upside down confused the brain totally, the trees didn't line up properly sky looked liket the top was darkened could not determine the shore line at all was too busy a photo to tilt upside down whilst you took the photo remember the viewer did not take the photo even though we knew it was upside down. For an upside down shot it needs to be either simple or make sense to be perfectly honest it looked to me like a badly done edit sorry but I have a flaw where sometimes I can be brutally honest without meaning any harm. The correct way up it looks perfect and you would have stood a shot at winning somthing the reason it got so many views is no one can resist a puzzle.
I've had another look at it and now I can see the shore line it's sunkin where it is The photo now looks better now I see a head profile in the shoreline and the background of your shot now looks like a world hanging upside down underneath so basicly you needed your viewers to walk away for a while and then come back and have another few looks at it.
You could even get away with naming the photo, the edge of the world.
so basicly the photo confuses the viewers brain until they can relax and have a second look. So stress robbed you of a prize.
