the tones are too dull , contrast could be boosted a little to brighten things up

Your photo is definately of a right angle when you look at it but the landscaping dominates the photo and makes it hard to notice at first.

You have a very hazy photo which it is likely is a case of weather conditions but you can try correcting it by adjusting the contrast and brightness some as well as more color saturation and you can over come some of the haze. Also if you are able to set your whitebalance on your camera adjust to to bring out more gold it will overpower the hazy gray and blue tones some.

It isn't a bad photo just a little weak for this particular challenge. Try to brighten it up a little and it will be more appealling.

It took me a little while, but I figured out what the title was referring to. This is a neat idea, but unfortunatly my focus is drawn up to the unlevel horizon, and not down to the roadway. I think if you had perhaps cropped off the top and if possible zoomed in more on the roadway, this would have worked better.

A bit more contrast would have helped...

unintersting subject, poor focus, poor tie to the challlenge. You should have tried something completely different. 1

Cute idea :) I think if there was less negative space above the subject it would be more effective.

Composition is nice. Colors are washed out. Bad contrast. Sunny days usually causes this.Set your aperture lower and less light will enter your camera giving it more depth. The shadows will become darker giving a more 3d look. Living in San Francisco I have to play with my settings a lot because of the bad sunlight.
