ouch. good photojournalism. i assume the tilt is intentional, it does give a feeling of being off-balanced. did you try bw, just for "mood," though I like it in color as well. karmat

The sideways angle is appropriate to the subject. I hope you don't get too many negative comments about it, since it's obvious it was planned this way.

Neat photo. I like the gritty rawness. I usually have a conniption over non-parallel lines, but these seem to work well. Nice photojournalism.

I like the slant on this photo - gives it motion - as if we're moving past in a car (which I guess you probably were). The focus is a little off, though. And I think I would crop a little off the right too. Overall excellent picture and title. Well done.
