Walt, I guess I've got things around me intense enough so that I don't need everything to be as saturated. ;-) But you do as you do, - that's your vision of the world.
Yep, - I think the vertical (and horizon) is proper now. The slope of the land is not a problem. The axis of the symmetry is now horizontal. I see that the crop at the top and at the bottom (around the tallest group of trees in the middle) became tighter now. While it might be the result of the tilt, - but it seems to me you would have more space along both edges remaining. I would let a bit more air there.

Unfortunately, when I try to align that vertical, it really emphasizes the slope of the land and makes the horizon look even more off-kilter to my eye. http://www.flickriver.com/photos/walt_gilbert/10406179033/#large Maybe it's just me? -- Walt On 10/21/2013 11:04 AM, Bob Sullivan wrote: > Walt, > That's a nice and vibrant image.
