 Went out by the river to get some long exposure shots of the moving water, and the sunset. Got quite a few that were good, but I liked this one best. The tilt might bother some people, I expect plenty of comments complaining about it. However, I really like the composition, shapes and colors in this shot.

Deserved better. I really like the angle.

The angle is a bit disconcerning for me. I'm usually a stickler of straight horizons. The color on the other hand is exceptional and well done. Great job!

As for my taste, tilted horizon doesn't add to the image, which would be good, anyway.

I like your angle. It sort of shakes things up a bit. Really nice colors too.

I like the image other than the tilted angle. I don't think it works.

I really like the look of the water and the tones of the sky. I'm not really keen on the tilted vew of this. For me, no matter what the effect is on water, I like water to be level. Just a personal preference.

Nice clean image, great exposure, wonderful colors. The horizontal tilt - not my style, but I like the way it fills the frame and do appreciate the attempt to do something different - kudos for the effort!

You know, this has the makings of a lovely scene. I personally am not a fan of purposeful tilt without a really good reason -- was the purpose here to contrast the jarring tilt with the serene scene? It really takes away from an otherwise beautiful picture for me. Just my opinion.
