Interesting in the idea that the camera was tilted, but there was already a diagonal window there that could have been captured by taking a different angle shot. But, truly does get across the diagonal idea.

I feel that this would have more punch if the lines in the glass were vertical. It would look as if the stone building was tilting over and the glass one was normal. Maybe they would not allow you on the grass to get that angle. Good concept that you saw the forms and got a shot of it.

This may have worked better had ot the natural element of trees been included in the frame.

I like that the reflection of the building is perpendicular - nice touch!

The diagonal seems forced here. I think you could have shot this without tilting the camera, and the diagonal of the glass building would have still been a very nice axis for you. Tilting the camera just makes me tilt my head to view it. The subject, colors, lighting are all good.

Minus: no sky
