Strange = good. Any reason for the tilt?

Looks pretty damn old alright, but waaay too dark for my taste. It's a good effect for sure, and some of us will probably love it. I do like that the lettering stands out.

I really like the tonal effects here - it gives a very dark mood. But overall the image is visually a little dark (on my monitor at least). The crop feels a little tight too. Great mood though.

@ King - No reason, do you need one?

psychodudu said 489 days ago:

Oooh no, it's dark....call the light police...lock up Man Ray, James Fee, Edmund Teske, and all the other photographers that produced dark images...lol.

Andrew,

You are feisty tonight...good!

Personally, I don't care if a photo is tilted because the photographer didn't manage to get everything line up--happens to me all the time.

However, I think that tilting an image for *effect* is, in most cases, just a gimmick, and that turns me off. I was just wondering if this was incidental or gimmick. Let's call it incidental, then I'll like it even more than I did initially. :>)

Striking, some things aren't very clear in this image, it still makes an old impression and has it's own style!
High marks.
