 Really interesting shot.  The woman does pull the attention.  This is actually a good "street shot" or environmental portrait.
 
 I really like that red train on the dress.

		| | Following up on my comment: 
 Sorry about the rather opinionated comment. I've been trying to word my comments better than the one I left you, and meant to come back and refine it, but somehow missed doing so.
 
 What most of your commenters had to say rings true.  The tilt is a distraction here, and the photo could have been much stronger with just a little change of perspective, or even just a rotation in post-process.
 
 Someone once gave me advice on how to use tilting effectively in a photograph. Told me that anything between 0 and 10% was a mistake. That it would look like an accident, and that it would come across as just sloppiness.  If you choose to use it to effect, always go above 10% in your grade.
 
 Of course, I never figured out how to measure it effectively. lol.
 
 Anyway, there's some clarification for my original thoughts, which are my opinion only.

		| | A slight counter-clockwise rotation would help.  Overall pleasing. |

		| | Great colors -- but is the image crooked? |

		| | Perhaps not the best shot to use as indicative of the career you profess to be in. |

		| | a more interesting perspective of this kind of shoot would have done better.  I feel like a spectator in a pew.  I am looking for a photograph |

		| | the slight tilt gives an interesting effect, but makes it look like people are off balance. |

		| | i hope that you at least have corrected the tilt when you show images to your customers. |

		| | This seems just a bit tilted to the right |

		| | I think we're tilted to the right a little bit, and while it's a very small amount, I find it to be distracting in an image with such strong vertical lines. |
