Would like honest feedback :)

Not sure how I feel about the tilt.

Thank you. I thought I'd keep it there for now as thats how it was taken. Oops!

I dont usually like tilt in my shots but I noticed without the tilt it sort of loses its "creepy-ness". I guess this one is growing on me.

The tilt isn't doing any favors.

Good job on the process esp for HDR....the colours are not overly saturated so fits mood you want. Nice detail and love the cracks in the asphalt. I like the angle looking down the road but not the tilt.
I would see if I could bring back the detail in the blown whites on top of the house and in the clouds (minor). Seems to be lots of noise in the sky.
and no again.....the tilt just does not work for me.

Love the image - not the tilt.

Those 5DIIs have a way with light. Really nice composition and processing.

Im hardly qualified to use one but that was one reason for buying it. I love the way it renders photographs. I have no regrets with the purchase.

Thanks for the comments everyone. Ill post up a non-tilted version a little later :)

Great processing! I personally don't think it's tilted enough, maybe a couple more degrees. Normally I'd jump in with the "straighten it" group but I feel it works with the eerie feeling the building posses. However like I said I think a bit more tilt would be better.

I think tilt helps in this photo... I recropped it and didn't like it as much.

I have one actually. I think it needs some more processing though. I basically just pulled out all the colors.

totally agree with Andrew here, and i like it both B/w and colour im torn between which one i prefer, i think the B/W one packs more of an eerie punch though.

B&W was going to be my suggestion as well. Great job. Now as others have said, could you show us the no tilt version?

The B+W is very creepy! Nicely done.
