Again looking for general critique on my images.



And especially some advice on what to do with a road like this that is so much tilted. I know the current version of this image have a tilted horizon, yet when I straighten it, the road makes it seem all tilting to the other side.

I have contemplated the difficult operation of shifting the road back once the horizon line is straight. I can do that in photoshop, yet it will take some time. Will it be worth it?

Again my gallery:

You probably want to delete the other post so as to not have two.
And may I suggest reading the critique forum rules about what you want to ask for specifically and posting the exif info.

I first tried to edit my original post, but it does not work, then I went looking for a way to delete it, but didn't find any. I am sorry for the inconvenience.

Tidied.

If your horizontals are misleading, use the verticals instead. Have you tried rotating it so the lamp posts and trees grow up straight?

Suggest you rotate it slowly until it "looks" right.. And I'm talking 1/10'ths of a degree. And crop a little off the right hand side so that the road is evenly cropped.. At the moment everything feels huddled on the right hand side because of the hill, the odd angle and the fact you weren't dead centre in the road when you took this.. The crop should push the side away a little.

The picture appears to be yellowish brown to me, you might want to look at your colour correction. (Either that or someone lend me a meter so I can correct my monitor!)

Played some more with the image.
The colors have gone away since I did a quick JPG conversion, so it is a little more grey.
I did some morphing aswell and some cloning and filling.

Looks far more upright now, well done.

The colors still look yellowish to me. LoveDSLR's colours seem much closer to how I'd expect, even if they're a bit oversaturated.
