the tilt I think would have worked if the CAT was on the right and hte negative space was on the left.

Cool shot, I like your HDR pp'ing. I can't ever seem to successfully pull off HDR without it looking too overdone or grainy. Good job.

i like it like this, naturally our brains read things from left to right, because of the way we were taught to read so i think it works as you instantly look to the left and see the vehicle and the clouds cover the negative space

I don't normally like "tiltism" either but it works in this case very well. I like it.

Probably because the CAT looks as though it's falling out of the frame.

Love the color and the lighting, but have to agree it would look MUCH better on the right side.

Works for me. Nothing wrong with experimenting. The same tired shots get boring.
