IMO the only reason that works is you have the incoming flying car slanted 
the other way, so it gives the impression you're seeing it from the pov of 
the car. Without the car, it would just be "hey, straighten up that 
picture."  Nice job.

I think the additional shuttles in the foreground don't work - not 
unless you also add some in the background, too. Otherwise, them not 
suffering much fog makes them somwehat isolated.

Nice.
I would like to add that the background towers, while neat, appear to be 
completely different styles than the foreground, creating a 
discontinuity (at least for me).
clipka's observation about the clustering of shuttles in the foreground 
makes sense to me, maybe some dark outlines poking out of the fog in the 
back would help.

A different multicorp with a totally different company image, maybe?

I find nothing wrong about it. It has its own aesthetics at any rate.

Quite true.  In fact, I'd like to have some really massive 'somethings' 
hanging around back there in the fog; I'm just not sure what, yet.

That was my excuse for using it, anyway.  It was ready made from a macro 
I had written some time ago.  Ideally, I think I'd like it to match a 
little better.

Beautiful. The irregularities on the water's surface due to gusting are
particularly effective (assuming that was the goal!). Don't add too much though,
be a shame to spoil a nice quiet ocean!

I think Darren was quite right! Without those initial shuttles rotated 
counterclockwise, the tilt of the image loses its punch.

Er... what is so Dutch about banking a camera? Enlighten me... I'm sure 
it has got nothing to do the old masters of the Flemish renaissance 
school...
