Thought this would be cool, pretty sure I was wrong.

They were one a hill, you can see in the background that the horizon is straight. Can you tell that form the picture of does it just look weird that they are slanted? Thanks!

it is a bit tilting to the left. if you want to check use the measure tool and click on the left of the area where the shore meets the water and pull the tool to the right and click on the other side. go to image, rotate canvas, arbitrary, and you will see the amount of slant in degrees. click ok and this will straighten it. crop or extend the images with the clone tool to the white areas created by rotation.

Its a nice shot.
IMHO there are too many things going to the left.
A. The young lady in the center's head.
B. The wisps of grass.
C. The slope of the grass.
D. The branches of the reddish/orange tree in the background.
E. All the the hair.

Keeping all of that in mind, I think you did a good job with what you had to work with. I am not sure any horizon correction would compensate for this, totally.

With that said, you did a GREAT job on the lighting.

Thanks guys. Yeah it kind of seems like the wind is blowing them over! Thanks for the comment on the lighting, but if everything else looks bad, I am not sure I want to show them this one.

[mandyatm]

Ahhh, sometimes I am so good I amaze myself.



Either that or I mess up so often that I get lots of practice correcting silly mistakes. I just rotated it, and since the horizon was way slanted, I cut a piece and repasted it straight. The grass they are sitting on is still not straight, but does it look better now?

[DivotMaker]

Much better..

That is one you should be proud to present. Nice job!

Haha, now the lamp posts are tilted. I will fix those. Thanks DivotMaker!
