Really interesting shot. The woman does pull the attention. This is actually a good "street shot" or environmental portrait.

I really like that red train on the dress.

Following up on my comment:

Sorry about the rather opinionated comment. I've been trying to word my comments better than the one I left you, and meant to come back and refine it, but somehow missed doing so.

What most of your commenters had to say rings true. The tilt is a distraction here, and the photo could have been much stronger with just a little change of perspective, or even just a rotation in post-process.

Someone once gave me advice on how to use tilting effectively in a photograph. Told me that anything between 0 and 10% was a mistake. That it would look like an accident, and that it would come across as just sloppiness. If you choose to use it to effect, always go above 10% in your grade.

Of course, I never figured out how to measure it effectively. lol.

Anyway, there's some clarification for my original thoughts, which are my opinion only.

I see some visible skew in the scene.

A slight counter-clockwise rotation would help. Overall pleasing.

Great colors -- but is the image crooked?

Perhaps not the best shot to use as indicative of the career you profess to be in.

a more interesting perspective of this kind of shoot would have done better. I feel like a spectator in a pew. I am looking for a photograph

the slight tilt gives an interesting effect, but makes it look like people are off balance.

i hope that you at least have corrected the tilt when you show images to your customers.

This seems just a bit tilted to the right

I think we're tilted to the right a little bit, and while it's a very small amount, I find it to be distracting in an image with such strong vertical lines.
