I agree completely and you are not missing anything - the trees on the
horizon confirm that the camera was held level. (I was trying to say
that in my first post.)
But - my eyeballs see it as tilted.
I once posted a photo of a lighthouse on a critique site and got
hammered because the the lighthouse was not straight up and down. I
pointed out to the community that this lighthouse was built to tilt a
few degrees to allow water to run off it and further pointed out that
the horizon was completely level. I got pretty roundly refudiated by a
general consensus that no matter, the photo did not look right. I
learned from that - make it look right and forget about what was really
there. Or in other words - make the photo appeal to visual intelligence,
not intellectual intelligence.
I still have a hard time with that.

I see the trunks of the far line of trees as confirming the slope of the hill.
I may be overlooking something.
Appreciated comments, Mark.

That is a fine tree in an interesting setting - the rocks are great -
but as Ann said there is the perception that the horizon is crooked that
distracts... I am not sure how you can address that - intellectually I
can see that the tree and those in the background are all straight up
and down so you had the camera level, but visually it looks tilted! What
is the scene from the other side of the tree?

Seems the going theme is trees at this point, so here's my pitiful contribution.
Posted a shot of this tree about three years ago. It has opened up some since
and
I prefer my memory of the earlier put together, buttoned up look.
All comments appreciated.
