Yes this leans, intentionally, to make it less static and boring. I didn't have my polarizer filter with me. I was shooting through a store window since the store ws closed.
Yes I could have done a low-angle shot to get out the background more. If store were open I could've asked to borrow their ladder for a high-angle shot.

i thought this shot would have done better with the bottom 1/3 cropped off. the dynamics of the light against the wrapper on the top 2/3 are less stimulating against the "dullness" of the bottom. a bit more post-processing to emphasize the brilliance of the wrappers would have helped too.
i do think this was better than your 5.11 score, tho...
