Looks pretty good. What camera is that 40D ?

It's not perfect, but then it might be different with another lens. Pretty close...

yeah its a 40d with kit lens

FWIW, that picture wasnt taken anywhere near the 45° angle he asks you to use.

eh 45 degrees is hard to judge :P

Not really.
45 degrees is ½ of 90 degrees, which is very easy to judge.
Anything that is approximatly a half of the right angle will do the job.

If your tripod head doesn't have the tilt angle marked, to get 45 degrees, just try and make the vertical distance from lens to floor equal to the horizontal distance from tripod to target center.

The difference is negligible and could easily be human error. I would say it is fine.

I agree, that does not look like 45 degrees and that does make a difference, not be exact, but yours looks nothing like 45
