This piece is a difficult one for me. My immediate impressions are mixed, as I'll explain. First, though I want to respond to your specific concerns:
<img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="10" height="10" alt="" title="Bullet; Blue" /> "the tilt": usually a shot that has a tilted horizon drives me absolutely crazy. In fact, I'm the type that has to point out to someone when their horizon is off, even though it's by less than 1 degree. But for this image, the tilt oddly seems to balance the image in an interesting way. It leaves a lot of tension in the image, but not to the point of driving the viewer away.
<img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="10" height="10" alt="" title="Bullet; Blue" /> processing: From what I can see, I would consider your processing appropriate. I am of course, assuming you didn't masterfully merge four or five completely different photos to come up with this image (and if you did, let me just say that's a damn good job!). Your vignette could be slightly subtler, but that's really just a matter of taste.
The image does present a bit of a problem to me, and it's really one that is more... "heady" than I usually make. It's also one that could be applied to a great many of my own images, so please don't take my tone as condescending. I look at the image and I have no idea what you're really trying "to say". I see a great perspective shot with good rule of thirds composition, good colors, nice contrast... but no real message. Nothing that grabs my attention and says this photo is about ______.
But then, maybe I'm just missing the point. Maybe it's a photo about a railroad track. It's not like I've never done something similar <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)" />
