Greetings from the Critique Club!

I quite like this shot, my own entry for this challenge was quite askew too, if you want to take a look :-) However, here you have both a level horizon, and then a tilted foreground element. It's quite a difficult call unless you could find a way to frame the shot with an exact parallel to the horizon; as it stands it does give a little bit of a swaying feeling.
From your settings I would say you shot handheld.

Most commenters like the basic idea here, but the execution needs more work. This would have been a good time to bring along a tripod, then you would be able to look at the scene through the viewfinder and figure out ways to line everything up. It would also allow you to close down a bit and leave the shutter open, which would help to naturally saturate the shot with more colour.

Hope this critique helps, the only way to improve is to continue to shoot.

Feel free to PM me with any questions,

Susan

nice idea and view, but needs a correction of the tilted horizon and a boost in color

Needs some serious tilt and perspective correction. Otherwise, this would have made a pleasing scene.

Could've been better if you straightened it.
