I like the colours! The people are a little dark, and I would have tried not to cut off their feet...dismemberment is normally frowned upon It's nice and sharp, too.

i really don't mind the cut off lower extremities, though as mentioned most will. don't really feel the rotation, but again, thats a personal thing, some will like it. i like the saturated landscape, but yes, the subjects are underexposed. use masking layers with a curves bump to brighten them a little...

...of course getting the lighting correct in the first place is the real answer

love it! love the rotation and the colors!
3 things do bother me but they are not critical, it is a good photo:

1. the feet as someone mentioned already.
2. they are underexposed, as the previous post said - try using layers in PP
3. something in the tree's branches look weird. did you do something in PP?
