I thought this was an interesting piece, attempting to defy the laws of gravity and turning the piece upside down to challenge us to look at a flip view. In a surreal sense of the picture and with the backing of your commentary, I felt you managed to bring that idea and concept across pretty well.

However, I felt that there was a need to bring across the point in a stronger fashion through the composition of the picture.

I believe that while the power lines and the electrical post was a great idea against this kind of clouds in this kind of sky(a right time right moment thing), I thought that the silhouette of the trees, buildings and the inclusion of the edge of the sun was a fair bit distracting.

With this concept, I reckon that it would have had been better if it was shot against an unblemished background at this same timing. Could that be done through sourcing a different location that could provide this? It's part of composing a shot sometimes too, to get the right place and right moment! I'd be certain the impact of this picture would be even greater if such!
