Thank you all for your comments. I did indeed intend such an harsh angle.
It is indeed a 3 image HDR

i think the rotation takes away from the shot... if it was upright and the crop was still offset, then it would be a better presentation. but i love the the lighting and and the serenity of the shot. good job!
IMO the tilted perspective has taken away from what is (when viewed correctly) a stunning image. On this occasion I do not feel that the tilt adds anything and indeed distracts the viewer somewhat.
I like the polarizing filter's effect on the sky, but wouldn't have tilted it quite so much myself. What's the weird flat-topped tree in the background? The trunk is so straight, it looks like one of those disguised cell-phone towers.
At first I found the steep angle a bit much but I must admit that my first impression with the colors and textures was, "Wow!" I wondered if the angle actually made the photo less interesting but as I stare at it with my neck bent out of shape, I think you might have actually improved an otherwise average scene. It certainly made me think about my vote. Too bad about the fencing up on the hill or whatever it is. Good luck!
