    Then the subject is falling backwards. Plus, the tilt focuses the subject’s view to the lower right. Lends action, what is he looking at? PLUS, levelling the horizon reduces the subject’s importance.

      it is not. a tilted horizon is never acceptable regardless of whatever else is going on in the photo. However the subject was standing with a flat horizon is authentic. The subject’s actual stance is more interesting than the false stance that the tilting has inferred.
