Perfect use of wide-angle and âtiltâ to create the impact on the viewer. Hope this picture is among the top ones in the challenge.

awesome great

My favorite of the bunch! I really like the use of tilting to help bring the subject to life. It doesn't feel like "gratuitous" tilting like many of the others do. Great use of a wide angle lens, too.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/10/2008 08:10:06 PM
Great angle, beautiful location, but just a bit dark in the corner and right around the bottle for me. Also, around the edge of the cork (may be due to darkness) seems a bit sof.... Love the idea and picture, worth working on. Still, 7

This works nicely. The mountain range along with the horizon line separating the water and land. Beautiful calm day and it shows in this tilted version.
The bottle... I don't know
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/10/2008 09:40:26 AM

Great subject, but too much of an angle.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/08/2008 12:35:04 PM
I'm betting a top five finish. This is awesome.

Good overall sharpness, interesting composition
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/08/2008 06:15:36 AM
I love the way this is composed - the straight line through the middle, and the diminishing "rounded" lines leading to the bottle . Great work!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/08/2008 04:54:00 AM
Great idea. Superb execution.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/08/2008 12:22:39 AM
This is a very different angle. The horizon leads the viewer's eye.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/07/2008 05:06:26 PM
or wow - perfect for Tilted.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/07/2008 10:42:52 AM
Well done, the reflection is awesome.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/07/2008 09:42:39 AM
This is an amazing photo. Very creative and everything is very clear. Amazing job
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/06/2008 05:59:55 PM
I like the distorted perspective, well done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/06/2008 04:55:47 PM
There are tons of images in this challenge that are tilted nonsensically and I am already dizzy looking at them.

This is probably, by far, one of the best images that is tilted not just because the challenge says so. And you accomplished that by giving a foreground subject to focus on. Great job. 10.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/06/2008 02:14:50 PM
nice perspective and angle. wish i could see some more details in the foreground shadows though. fill-in flash could have helped here.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/06/2008 10:05:28 AM
nice wide angle, and i like the business of the lower right contrasting the emptiness of the upper right

9 - Ooo. Nice. With that title though, you make me want to see a bit of paper in the bottle.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/05/2008 10:29:34 AM
Nice. Except I don't see the message.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/05/2008 10:01:10 AM
the image could use more cleaning up. I love the composition though.
