I don't have all the exif handy at the moment but my original idea of a take on the challenge would be to photograph something tilted, and tilt the shot to make it look straight. I have some outtakes which I liked a lot as well (shall post) but liked this one for the story.

Thanks for the kind comments. Sort of a tricky shot to take and edit. Getting enough light on the feather but not blowing out the sky. Could've used some fill flash? Due to shadow/highlights adjustment to brighten the feather some slight banding was introduced in the sky *shrug*

Just posting, as the shore line almost got me and I twitched a bit. doh.

Nicely done and good finish too Techo. Beautiful color and texture. Seems this was one of the few images in the challenge that had a bit of a reason to be tilted too.
the out of focus birds really help this shot. I don't think I would've stopped to take a picture of that feather. I'll think again after seeing this. so much stronger than the cliche sunsets we see here.
