I'm a fan of this photo. Unlike what I normally prefer, this frame is filled completely but that's what makes it so interesting. A few things attract the eye like the person (of course), the signpole and all the lines. They all fight for my attention, but that does not bother me. I keep wandering through this image and keep seeing new things. Also like the contrast in this photo. Well done, Alvaro.
I love this image. It's complex and confusing at first, but the main thing is, I can't stop looking at it. It's not common to react that way to anything these days, where many of us scroll past a bazillion things each day.
I find this photo riveting. It’s organized chaos. There is something to look at in every inch of the frame and yet the person is still the main attraction. I also love that you don’t notice that everything is upside down at first. You’re sucked in, looking, admiring the composition and lighting and then, boom, you come to the realization that the world has literally flipped. - Beautiful work of art!
very well done, and captivating: what indeed is going on with that guy? — for my part however, it would work better as a square format: i find the top third to be somewhat distracting.
It's a remarkable photo - when I need to look twice or three times at an image then you've got me - was the guy walking off the edge of a building? Why were his legs looking weird and how come he was under some kind of mesh?
I didn't even clock it was upside down when I started to look - fantastic!
A great capture. The reverse of the image makes you mind think something isn't right but that's just because you aren't used to the perspective. The reflection makes the man seem right side up while everything else is inverted. It's the most brilliant part of the image for me.
Really liked this photo - I enjoy the black and white, I think it helps sustain the central illusion of the flipped photo. Worthy of inclusion in *All the Photo-tricks* by Edwin Smith.
every single time a photo is published in this section, i say few words about what i don't like in that photo. now for the above i have just 5 words: give me more of this!
First, I dislike the presentation. I have to scroll up and down just to see the image whole thing. Had to change my screen resolution to see it in its entirety.
Second, while my brain initially was interested as I focused on the person walking and tried to figure out why they were walking amongst the wires to the edge of the building, as soon as I figured that out, I felt duped. Oh, it's upside down. That's how it engaged me. With a cheap trick. Once I figured that out, I grabbed the image and dropped it into photoshop., turned it right side up, and meh. Nothing special here.
We have so much fake imagery these day that we have to wade through, like separating wheat from the the chaff, I'm not sure what the point is to purposely trick us like this. I guess I just didn't appreciate it because of that. Overall it left a negative impression on me.
Love this idea and the photo but personally, I think it can have a lot more impact as a colour picture. I think It's a bit too busy for a monochrome subject. But hey, that's just what my eye likes to see.

Flipping the photo upside-down was genius!
Boldly striding into the upside-down metropolis - I love it, Álvaro! So cleverly seen and well composed too.
I looove this. First drawn to the person walking in the center, then pulling out and being like whaaat?!

This is such a clever photo. I have to keep looking at it, and scanning the whole frame again and again. Congrats!

The type of photograph that makes you stop and try to figure out what is happening. I love it.
Alvaro, I *love* this photo. it's disorienting and perplexing in the best way.
