A lot of entries tried diagonal horizons, but this is one of the few that I believe. The angle, the use of reflections, and the high contrast of the sun with the outline of the poles really makes this image. Great work.
Excelent capture. Great colors and the reflection is perfect. But a diagonal water horizont bothers my. It feels like the water will soon be rushing to the left side of the picture. If you would crop it so that there was no water horizont and only reflections it would be a winner. -7-
There's bound to be some controversy about this kind of shot: simply rotating an image to meet the challenge requirements - well, actually I don't think it works. Your composition, regardless of the swivel, is still based on an entirely vertical/horizontal opposition. It's a nice shot, however - good mood and sense of light. But I'd have thought it was more of an opportunity to investigate the ideas of a more complex compositional approach.
This would have done REALLY well in the reflection challenge a few weeks back -great lighting and composition. I am just not a fan of diagonal composition where water is involved unless the action of (or on) the water in the subject i.e. a surfer or crashing waves against rocks.
I really like the scene here, but I don't think that tilting it to meet the challenge works here. The tilting effect just doesn't add to the shot for me.
