Tipped horizon - okay, clich?d God knows but anyone can tilt their head and see the scene tip. Increased contrast? Put on polarizing sun glasses and bingo! Shoot from different, hopefully interesting angles? Why not? High? Low? Foreground out of focus, background sharp? Again, we can see all these things, which is why we photograph them. But turning what was not a visually dramatic moment into a drama by, I'm sorry, but 'faking' the color? No. But obviously we're going to have to agree to disagree on this one.
