Great capture. I like the boredom/loneliness amongst the texters.

Falling? I think anyone can tilt the frame and suggest a feeling of falling. What makes this special? (Sorry. I do rather like it, but I'm taking issue with titles in this FS.)

Revisiting this. Title notwithstanding, the tilt does add an interesting dynamic for a guy sitting in a chair in the middle of a crowded street...

There is definitely a story behind this photo. Unfortunately, it's hidden behind the extreme tilting action (just doesn't add anything in my mind).

Falling, or fallen? Not totally sure what's going on here, but if it makes me stop and think about it, that's always worth some extra pointage.

Great photo but the angle world work better for me if it was slightly tighter cropped and perhaps about 10% less rotation.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: I like the tilt here - a straight centred composition wouldn't work nearly so well in offering the context of the trolley and the iPod lady in the way that this image does. The conversion is superb too.

Critical stuff: Nothing

Overall: A really effective image.
