Straight, or diagonal, or not?

This is the water feature where the White Wing Dove lives. If I straightened the photo, pretty much all was lost - the sky, the sides, the wall reflections. So, diagonal it is! I tagged this for the street 46 challenge, I believe it meets the criteria.

I love it Lou Ann, even when my neck hurts looking at it ;-) A great shot, fav!

[Joan Robillard]

[Call me Joe]

Sometimes we have to bend the rules and result’s amazing 😍

[Clare Gadsby]

[carol white]

A great angle and capture. Fav!! 😀

[Beryl Lloyd]

Sorry -- I must be the odd one out -- It always annoys me as I have to hold my head to one side to make sense of the scene !

[Bep]

A very unusual angle...

[Valerie Chesney]

Beautiful colour & reflection, your capture of the water is just fantastic...Different angle but, I like it.

[Milanie]

I think because the lines are so strong, the diagonal is really interesting - I notice the lines so much more than I might have - and to me, they make the shot.

[Lou Ann]

@milaniet Thank you for your wonderful comment, those lines dominate the scene, I’m so glad you liked them as they are!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Sometimes throwing the tilt in works in your favor. I think it did here. A straight shot would be nice too, but this one has a little more character.

[CC Folk]

I like it too! Fav.

[4rky]

Definitely great on the diagonal

[summerfield]

the dutch tilt is just perfect but i rather wish it was in landscape. well done. aces!

[Louis A. Sousa]
