Composed with a Deliberate Tilt

This is a strong and dynamic photograph, which stood out early in my review. The angle chosen for the shot helps the foreshortened tower have a sense of being even taller, and I do love the contrail captured in the right hand side of the sky which adds a nice temporary counterpoint to the permanence of such a solid structure. The black and white treatment was also a great choice. Well done.

So much to like about this composition. The forward placement of the rider and horses head to the right hand side of the image, but with space to move into, give a strong sense of movement and action. The use of black and white helping focus the viewers attention on textures, form and contrasts. Low angle, dirt flying, and a blurred background all highlight power and speed. A great shot at any angle, but the tilt here really does add to the drama.

Wow, and instant sense of unease and "wrongness". All the hallmarks of a great use of the Dutch Angle. My brain is not quite sure of what to make of what I'm looking at, and that's fantastic. I see a wide angle lens in use here exaggerating the perspective and adding to the other-worldly and futuristic feel. The emptiness of a normally busy subway station also gives another layer of strange. I love it.

First impressions of this image was a Film Noir Jason Bourne. Where's this man going? Is that just a phone in his hand? The Dutch Angle, monochrome, and urban atmosphere all add to the sense of a story to be told here. Great composition and contrast. Love the patterns on the front those steps. All great thrillers need a scene in Venice.

This photograph made me smile right away. "What's up with that building!". I really do get the sense it's somehow sprung a leak and is sinking, or it's "pit-pulled" like some of the subsided mining town houses in the UK. With the figures on the bank leaning forward and giving a sense of scale, plus the bushes in the centre top still looking almost vertical, the angle it's been shot at really does make the illusion.
