Love the perspective! Not sure I understand Dave's comment about the rotation. But I do see how everyone is tilted, leaning to the left. In this case I think it adds the dynamic tension and perspective at the expense of a more realistic documentation. To "correct" this in post would require changing the verticals I think, more than rotation. Or more likely applying some skew adjustment.

I was off by 2 deg. It was only 28 degrees actually.
I understand what you are saying Scott and maybe I'm just too hung up on the documentary thing.
But... I have seen a person killed (crushed into nothing more than jello) when a crane load was lifted off center. When I first viewed this, that was the very first thing that struck me and brought back bad memories. The load is clearly centered properly but the tilt of the composition makes me cringe.
If dynamic tension is the goal here I'd say this rates a 10 on my richter scale.
And just to reiterate, I really like this shot for the perspective you used here Steve. I think this is a great shot but the tilt just "kills it" for me personally.
