After Challenge: This dynamic tilt is the result of a couple of a very important items. First, there was a pile of bush to the right side of the road. Secondly, in order to crop it out, I had to use the crop tool and tilt it.

I like the result which emphasizes the "S" nicely IMHO, but I knew that some people would wonder "WHY?" Now you know! :)

Meets the challenge and I do like the angle but the overall image just falls a bit flat. I think this image could handle some heavier duty processing and make it more "artistic".

That's a pretty dramatic tilt. I'm not seeing the purpose though. It doesn't seem to add any interest.
