I took this shot in Monroe, Louisiana. I have always kindof liked this bridge. Infact, when I was in highschool I hopped on the last car of a train and rode across the river. Does that make me a hobo? It goes across the Ouachita river, which is a decently active river. Anyway I hope everyone likes my tilted image of a fairly nice railbridge.

The only editing that I have done is: crop, contrast, colors, and tone.

Nice perspective, agree with tighter crop comments ;). These bridges always remind me of the old American western , kids hitching a lift on the trains etc films ;-)

I think this would have had much greater impact with a closer crop - all the extra stuff to either side of the bridge I find distracting.

I'm not sure what the tilt is meant to add to this shot. I see it's nearly parallel with the 30 sign... but not enough for that to be the obvious reason. It's also not parallel with the embankment on the left.
I don't think anything's lost/gained with the tilt.

My first reaction to this was "the tilt looks like a mistake" so you may see some low votes come in from the knee jerk voters. I do like how the tilt gives a sense of action.

Nice, shot, but I think you should've done a tighter crop, then it would've looked awesome:)
