excellent shot... and like you say, you can see it from both angles... i imagine this is down to the rotation angle... it's a wonderful sunset.

It's beautiful but I'm getting dizzy looking at it! :lol: But printed I'm sure it wouldn't give me that effect.

Stunning shot.
A 90 degree anti-clockwise rotation and it reminds me of images of the earth taken from space.

Ooops, just read the title. :o

Great idea (I might have to copy this technique). It really is an interesting idea. I wonder what other photos I can rotate to new effects...

The idea is brilliant, astonishing effect. Was that taken at sunrise or sunset ? I wonder what a bit of photoshopping would do at the horizon.
