Halloween's a-comin' (Explored)

For the Sunday Challenge: Dutch Angle

"The Dutch angle, also known as Dutch tilt, canted angle, oblique angle or German angle, is a type of camera shot where the camera is set at an angle on its roll axis so that the shot is composed with vertical lines at an angle to the side of the frame, or so that the horizon line of the shot is not parallel with the bottom of the camera frame. This produces a viewpoint akin to tilting one's head to the side.

In cinematography, the Dutch angle is one of many cinematic techniques often used to portray psychological uneasiness or tension in the subject being filmed."

Heck, that Dutch angle has certainly left me feeling uneasy Esther. Must say though that you did well to get Wendi to pose for you ... she's usually very camera shy! ;)

The lighter tones really play off the vivid orange hat. The tilt makes for an interesting element in the presentation of Miss Halloween. This made me smile but with a feeling that a visit to the dentist is in order. lol
