Breaking the Rules V: Straight ~vs~ Crooked

This challenge closed 9 months ago.

The Challenge

This is the fifth in a series of challenges where entries should “work” although the normal “rule” is broken:

Technically speaking, it’s usually more eye pleasing to have a straight horizon or to view a human being or building standing as they should.

Artistically speaking, sometimes crooked is better and more interesting!

To break this rule: simply turn your camera so that photos are not at the “ordinary” (natural) angle.

The rule is only broken correctly if the image still “works”/looks good or right.
