For me, this picture didn't work very well either as a picture for the challenge, or as a picture just by itself.
As a challenge entry, the rotation is fine, that is artistic license on the part of the photographer, but to my thinking the rotation has to serve some sort of visual or story purpose to work. In this case, there is neither a visual reason or a story reason to rotate the image. The title, which tries to explain the rotation in a funny manner, is nice, but it doesn't work.
As a picture by itself, again, the rotation is very annoying. Outside of that, the picture is way too tight, and the light is both harsh and not very flattering to the subjects. It is difficult to photograph glass well. If you want to learn to photograph glass, look at the pictures by Irene here at DPC - she's a master at it!
