Frankly Not MK 2.....whats the thought behind it...did you fall over whilst taking it?

 

[ChrisCW]

Like the shot but not keen on jaunty angle sorry

It's always good to see people pushing the boundaries so well done for that. I guess the problem in this case is that horizons and landscapes are naturally meant to be viewed straight, so it just comes off as forced and uncomfortable (if that makes sense)...

Weirdly i like it, but it messes with my eyes lol!

fantastic if you want to go watersking

The angle fights against the pretty, postcard aesthetic in my opinion. Doesn't suit the subject, and therefore seems redundant.

It doesn't work for me either, but well done for trying something different. I think this works better with buildings, architecture etc.

 

[barratt1988]

no.. sorry. i had this angle once.... my camera fell off the tripod

 

[SFTPhotography]

Level it up mate, seems rude not to have it straight as it looks nice otherwise

 

[Lynton]

nope. not in the slightest.. maybe because the human eye/brain does not normally see a jaunty (motorsport) angle of a sunset.

What were you thinking of?

 

[ChrisCW]

Well due to the angle of the original shot, it is a massive crop, but here you go:
