Southbound (Looking for some insights)

The image is dark, the horizon is crooked ( I was hanging out a window with a Holga).
This is a work print and I'm wondering if theres enough here to spend some real time on it aka is it a good image?
What would you do?

I like it as it is. To me the image has better balance when cropping slightly from the right. Like the scene, I think this could be worked to yield results.

Just curious. How do you make 100 speed film work in the Holga? Wait until the spring shutter gets old and tired?

Thanks for the feedback Thom;
I diafined it to get to 200..
It's a good Holga film for bright days but really scratch prone, pinhole(y) and it has a crazy curl..all of which can be fine at times. It looks and feels like my granfathers negs from the 20's.
 
hey victor

i love the balance created from the tall building in the foreground
and the mass of buildings to the left of the long straight road.
don'tneed to do anything with it, looks nice to me :smile:

I agree with whlogen. I'd like to see a series of 5 of these in a row. IMNSHO Straight horizons, rule of thirds, etc.. are often tenets that are better defied than followed
