- Support - but less for the goat than how pleasingly disorienting the composition is. :) — Rhododendrites talk | 12:47, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
Comment. Can you help me understand the image? The trees on the left are vertical, so it would seem the bottom edge of the picture is level (as in level with real-world horizon). But the goat is at an angle, and so are the stems of grass, so it would seem the picture is tilted. So how does that work? Podstawko ●talk 14:37, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
- This picture was shot with perfect horizontal tilt according to the viewfinder. The "tilt effect" is probably an optical illusion because it is at 600mm. In reality, the chamois is on a slope and was looking down. I did not change the tilt with a crop to align it with the slope because the result would be unnatural since it would make it look like that all the trees would be falling to the right. For a context of this image you can look at this image shot a few minutes before at 200mm. You will see it's a slope and that the trees are going upward.
