    Straight horizons?

    Went down the coast to day to a place I hadn't been before, wasn't that inspiring to be honest so tried out a different angle to add interest. C&C welcome.

    Re: Straight horizons?

    IMO, it's a nice treatment of the scene. The grainy, dramatic sky matches the texture of the walkway and railing foundation. And speaking of which, that sunlit railing adds great contrast to the otherwise dark tones around it. You've obviously got tremendous depth to the shot, and the tilt really emphasizes the perspective lines segmenting the frame alomst like slices of pie.

    True, it's a bit severe, and because of that I see this as more of a visual exercise than a classic composition, but it's good to try that from time to time. BTW, where is this?

    I agree with Steve.

    It also makes me think it might be how an overly inebriated person might view scene.
    Keep Shooting!

    There's definitely something about tilting the camera sometimes ... looking at things differently, loosening things up. Adds some pizazz.

    Great shot. Maybe a little too dark.
