Angles are such a personal thing, but I would have liked this print a lot more if the sea was level...

Very interesting. Although the path turns, I'm still seeing it vanish. Not the usual straight-line vanish. Nice touch!

I like the texture of this photo. Good choice to use a subject with sweeping lines instead of "railroad" track straight.

I find this photo a bit disorienting. Probably just me.

Nice textures, and a nice sense of perspective. The colors contrast well, and I think the tilted horizon works to make the shot more dynamic.

Great leading curves. I'm sure a lot of people will comment on the horizon. I guess this is because the angle is in the uncertain area where it might be a mistake or a deliberate creative choice.

Love the beautiful captured curve that your eyes follow from the foreground toward the background. Straightening the horizon would really make the composition perfect. Possibly adding someone to walk the road would give the feeling of being there. "8"

Nice seeing, good subject and exposure. The tilted horizon is a bit distracting. Title must be mis-spelled. Excellent rendition of the vanishing point.

Technically good photo but it just doesn't jump out at me.

You should have adjusted the tilted horizon line in post-processing (this is allowed in the Basic Editing rules). Also, I would have cropped a good chunk of the bottom of the image, perhaps at the point where we can no longer see the rock wall, since not much is going on after that.

I think you could have gotten an even more pleasing composition without slanting the horizon. Although I like it very much this way, when I follow the path to the horizon, I find myself turning my head to line it up.

I like this picture, but the horison should have been straight :-(

The tilting of the image is rather more of annoyance than a feature for me. I would have thought that taking a wider shot and then cropping, rather than accepting your cameras framing as it stands would have been more effective - as the image is precisely 640x480 I'm guessing that's what you've done, but I can't see another reason for it ... the angle just isn't dramatic enough, nor does it contribute enough impact. Some of the grandness of the sweep of that ccauseway is lost here also - a little more height would perhaps have been effective - not necessarily possible, but nevertheless ... a small stepladder or something, such as many landscapers carry would have done it.

needs straightening

Nice colors and a beautiful s shape. Don't like the tipped horizon--for me, it adds nothing.

REALLY cool looking!

Ahhh, makes me miss the ocean, nice pic with a really good feeling to it, but looking at the tilt on the horizon makes my neck hurt
