Its wonky! First rule of landscapes = straight horizons. The second rule of landscapes = straight horizons!

The sky is also very over exposed with some pixel bleed distroying the detail in the trees. This looks like a good time for a Graduated ND filter.

Beautiful setting.

I agree that straightening the horizon is a good idea. I'm all for breaking rules at times, but I haven't seen too many tilted horizons that look right to my eye.

Why not try shooting at or near sunset, or maybe just late in the day? That way, you may be able to avoid the blown-out sky without getting the GND filter that Fletch mentioned and that you noted in your link. This may also result in some more detail in the trees on the far bank.

You know what Vinko, I think your photo has a great feel and is really relaxing to look at. And I don't actually care the hoizon isn't straight because perhaps the land tilted away.

Hi Vinko. Notice your horizon is a bit slant, focus not that sharp, picture over-expose and noise a bit visible. What camera setting did you use ?

The composition was alright with me; I liked it, and agree with Fletch on a lot of what he said; although the pixel bleeding wasn't the first thing that came to my sight.
