Thanks so much to all who took the time to vote and participate in the challenge!

I'm not very familiarized with the following expression: "...in an otherwise rightside up image."

What is it mean?

In a normal or regular or typical image. So just include an upside down element in your picture.

Thanks!

@moondrome
nice idea! I think the diver should be tipped over a bit more since she has fallen that far, now it looks like she's about to hit the edge of the pool.

Not necessarily. Just a scene with an upside down thing in it. Like a bat hanging from a branch or a room with all the paintings turned upside down or something.

I just realized it's a woman and diving board and not a nosediving plane. 

@siikikala Wow! Loving the vibe of your piece, it has an amazing atmosphere and composition.
@moondrome I would recommend you to draw on a layer above your picture a trajectory of the girls fall, keeping in mind how gravitation works. Otherwise, great idea!


Not yet sure where I am going with mine but I hope it fits the requirements.

@jal: Looks like 3 blackbirds to me :o!


Also what about like a reflection in some water, the reflection would look upside down. Or is that bending the roolzz too much.

Just done it:

I'm not sure I like how this is looking...

Otto, I really like your idea! Very Rene Magritte somehow. I think your composition would benefit greatly if you made the lighting more dramatic, as that would draw the viewer's attention to the fact that the chandelier is on the "floor". Also, things are creepier when they are lit from below!

In case you are wondering I flipped your fish upside down because I thought it was supposed to be oriented that way, but then I realized I must have misunderstood which things are upside down and which ones aren't.

Showtime, thankyou. I thinks it's an excellent idea, here is the modified version:

True, I think it should look better now

@jalonso Thank you :)! Not sure which black things you meant, so either roots, leaves or birds.
@7heSama Thanks c:!

Really not sure whether I will manage to finish before deadline, had too much work to do this week :/ I hope all-nighter will help though
