There's bound to be some controversy about this kind of shot: simply rotating an image to meet the challenge requirements - well, actually I don't think it works. Your composition, regardless of the swivel, is still based on an entirely vertical/horizontal opposition. It's a nice shot, however - good mood and sense of light. But I'd have thought it was more of an opportunity to investigate the ideas of a more complex compositional approach.

This would have done REALLY well in the reflection challenge a few weeks back -great lighting and composition. I am just not a fan of diagonal composition where water is involved unless the action of (or on) the water in the subject i.e. a surfer or crashing waves against rocks.

as presented this is a solid image -- I think it's stronger without the "unnatural" tile (and seems that it would have still met the challenge)

Plus: meets criteria nicely, mood
Minus: don't like the color tons, red noise in bottom right corner
Score: 7

I really like the scene here, but I don't think that tilting it to meet the challenge works here. The tilting effect just doesn't add to the shot for me.

Don't really like how a lot of the photos in the challenge have tilted it to fit the challenge, but this is a very cool shot.

I dunno. I take this kind of picture a lot. Why doesn"t it work for me? It could be the reduced resolution in your picture, but I"m thinking the sky and its reflection have a whole theme of their own, and the grass silhouettes interfere - maybe too many of them. The lights and darks are very good.
