Nice composition, and it's not easy to create one that doesn't just look forced or cluttered. Nice lighting too and I like your DOF choice.

Interesting! The angles really work and I like how they are angles I might see in real life (rather than rotated for the sake of it). The crossing diagonals work well.

Wonderful, wonderful silhouette - those shadows coming towards us creating lovely line leading us in are great. And the angle actually gives one the impression of looking up as one lies on the ground or perhaps the viewpoint of a small kid, though the title contradicts that.

Sweet portrait and I like the way that the angle isn't just for the sake of it - as the baby is being held at an angle. The light and the shallow DOF are lovely.

The angle works well in this one to draw the line up and down that escalator. Like the motion blur too.

I can't quite work out whether this would actually be stronger without the rotation but then again I do like the triangle shape of the window and the triangular point of the dog's nose.

Aaah! Nice to see a shot which isn't just about tilting the horizon for the sake of it! I like the strong diagonals across the image with the tower itself taking us into one corner and the lower arches spanning from top left to lower right. Works.

I like the content but image quality seems poor. I find myself straining to see any detail. Nice toning.

In my opinion, this is the best in the challenge. I think it's perfect as it is, not too cluttered, the wine bottle and glass are very obvious even with such shallow DOF, the composition is perfect, the lighting colour and strength is perfect...
Can you let us in on some of your processing? Is some of the OOF blur added in processing?

Glad this placed well... I'm a little surprised DPC users wouldn't get the title! It made me laugh!
