True, but it's a clever ruse that works for a second or two while you figure it out

Many thanks for the comments.
I agree, Maria that as a photo it is best the right way up but I think David has 'sussed' my twisted sense of humour ?
Sometimes it is the duty of an artist to be provocative and display the unexpected - that is what I tried to do here.
Whilst the river was not 'mirror smooth' I felt the reflection was good enough to have a go ?
I also wonder whether people not familiar with life on The Thames may have missed my dreadful pun in the title ?
'Swan Upping' is the official name for the annual count of the Queen's swans on the Thames.
So when I turned the swan 'upside down' the title just jumped out to me !
Hope this helps and thanks again.
Best regards
Peter
