Piddle Puddle

I found this photo on Pinterest by Nellyb. 


I took this photo in an attempt to emulate it. 

Now, both photos are reflections of trees; however, mine is in color while Nellyb's is in black and white. The decision to make the first photo black and white makes sense because the tree has no leaves, while it is logical to make mine color because there are leaves on the trees. One does not have deep colors to portray, while the other does. Also, even though the pictures are roughly the same dimensions, mine has a distinctly horizontal look and Nellyb's has a distinctly vertical look. I believe that the lines in the photos dictate these illusions. The circle of my puddle is horizontal, while the line of the sidewalk edge in the first photo clearly leads the eye up, giving it a vertical look.
