I dont know if this can be classified as being creative or not but i quite liked this shot on the angle. Not one for the photography purists i guess.

I like it and don't like it at the same time. :shock:

What I like are the colours and the reflection, however I dont' like the angle as the tilt for me isn't exaggerated enough. I would have preferred the angle to be at least 20 degrees. The shallow angle gives too much ground for the horizon police to come in and slap you with a ticket :D

Understand what you were going for, but I think it would have looked better if on the level with slightly more blue foreground and slightly more saturation...

Also - this maybe me, but I find that your method of putting your copyright and Exif data underneath detracts from the photo...

I agree with Leekie
Your name and EXIF much too loud. Keep it subtle. Love the image concept. The tilt needs a reason....something in the foreground maybe, but nice and sharp and the colours pop.

I love the colours and reflection, but the tilt is too great for my liking...

I dont mind the EXIF data, but the bright yellow copyright is a bit much. Maybe a subtle white will do the trick

Personally I don't bother (YET)... I include my copyright as a comment in the EXIF, but apart from that, don't really bother... At the moment, I'd probably treat it as a compliment if someone ripped off one of my images... If I ever become famous, I'd probably reduce the resolution of web-images so that they are useless for printing and / or include a subtle copyright watermark...
Amongst others, the watermark used by Kerry Pierce is a good example of what I mean...
Any watermark needs to be positioned so that it can't be easily cropped out and doesn't detract too much from the image.

I prefer the new script big time!

For me a bit more of a tilt is needed to make the shot, close tho :)
