I happened to be driving underneath an interstate bridge, when I noticed the rectangular supports.

What shows more strength than the underlying support structures of our society?

I've been asked why I tilted the picture, so here's the reason...

I happened to be driving when I took the shot (partly due to laziness, partly due to the neighborhood :P). When I looked at the picture, it was tilted.

I thought really hard about straightening it out, the angle just seemed to kill the symmetry. Then I thought, "not everything in life is symmetric".

So, Viola! The picture kept the tilt that the majority of people really didn't like :)

Btw - Thanks, I appreciate the constructive feedback!

NIce shot. I like the contrasts and shadows and how the photo was tilted. Makes it more interesting to view

What did you try to achieve by tilting the camera?

I think I understand your shooting at this angle but it is distracting...I would have shot this filling the feame with the foundations alone, the right angle shadows on them are GREAT!

Love the shadows on this image. I think I would've like the composition more if it was straighten. I don't like the angle, but the picture is very nice.

Lots of angles but the tilt doesn't do it for me.

just a bit to dark for me Maybe a little tighter on the uprights showing just that set of angles. the weeds and the rocks distract the eye. 4

IMHO - I would have framed the photo different here...width side as longest side, eliminated some of the foreground on the top and bottom of the frame, and maybe used a different tilt.

I like how the shadows form right angles all the way through the whole perspective.

Think this woulda been a lot cooler if it was cropped in landscape format -- and leveled. I dont think the tilt is doing any good for the photo.
