Love the mistiness here and the subdued lighting works very well to set the mood. 9

One of the few images in the challenge where the artificial diagonal (the tilted horizon line) actually works quite well. Good entry. I love how the silhouetted figure is walking into the foggy light, big shadow behind. The picture has a good feel. ~9

See now there is a well done rotation of camera to cause diagonals...Good job and very interesting.

Hmm, I could just say 'you've taken a normal photo and rotated it', but somehow it works here...

Fantastic lighting, strong effect.

I have been a little tough on the "tilted camera" technique for this challenge but I have to make an exception here. Your composition works and it works because of the tilt. Nicely done - looks like a scene out of an old Bogart movie.

Plus: subject, lighting, perspective
Minus: overexposed lights on left, lens falre
Score: 8

Haven't liked most of the tilted camera shots but this one works because of the mood. Film noir sort of thing with the solitary silhouetted figure and it feels right to be off-kilter. Nice job.
