DEATH!!!

(well, ok... I just couldn't call another shot "untitled"...)

c/c welcome if desired.

And yes... I know... it's tilted.

 

[mishele]

What do you think the tilt adds to the shot?

 

[manaheim]

Adds? Nothing.

I think it compliments the lines of the subject and the elements in the background while minimizing distractions. (there's an ugly object in the background that I'm hiding and an uninteresting tombstone to the left that I'm angling away from)

If ever one of my tilts was cheating, I'd say this one was it, but it was at least done for a reason.

Cemeteries suck.

I like the drama the tilt adds to the tombstone theme, although it could become overdone
I squared up the frame to get rid of the insignificant stuff on the left. Just a visual thought :scratch:

So this is titled and tilted
OK; this time it is OK; because it gives a feeling that Christ is lying on the floor desperate of human activities, than being crucifixed. Also it has some diagonal justification. Actually it is here where i feel the tilt is justified. Difference of views-that is all

I wasn't sure what to make of this at first, but then when I saw Rick's edit it made more sense. I wouldn't crop out quite as much - I'd leave the vines running down the side of the foreground marker and just a piece of the one in the background. As it was originally, having a lot of the marker in the background just didn't add anything, imo.

Oh, and I thought the tilt worked, cheating or not.

 

[Rick58]

I agree with Ken about the wider crop. I wish I would have taken that.

I would keep it 2x3 sized, no crop

Nice tilted, btw

Rick's second edit wins it for me. Good stuff.

 

[manaheim]

Oh wow, yeah. Rick's edit totally nails it. Of course I HATE non-standard aspect ratios... but in this case I may need to just get over it. Bah.

Lol Brilliant idea guys. Thank you all for contributing your thoughts here.
