Yes there is a perceived tilt to the supposed horizon line, but this out in nature, and there is no one horizon line! The middle ground left is sloped to the right, scooped out in the center and rises to the right side. The far hill is lumpy, the medium hill and trees are even lumpier, but most of all the tree trunks we can discern are vertical. Tilting the "horizon" level would have slanted them. That would be much more of a visual problem. This particular piece of landscape provides us a level of abstraction to demonstrate HD.

Well, the tilt got you the comments (as did the colours). All publicity is good, as is said in Hollywood.

Gorgeous scene - love the sunset/sunrise colors and the dead log up front adds the perfect little bit of interest. Maybe it is just me, but horizon seems slightly tilted to the right?

Beautiful composition, but the hoizon is tilted.
Post actions
the horizon is more than a bit tilted and very distracting but great colors
Post actions
Beautiful colors, but the horizon is not horizontal.

I like the warmth, and I like the calmness of the water. The lighting on the trees on the right looks a bit out of place, though, and I hope you have a tilted horizon like that on purpose. :)

Be nice if the picture was leveled

This would work better if you leveled the tree line on the far horizon.

The metallic foil-like sheen is rather spectacular. The DOF is rather nice too. 7

Beautiful colors. I wish the horizon line was straight though.

Good colors but the tilted horizon line is very distracting
Post actions
I would have liked the horizon to be straight.

Would be perfect with the horizon straightened. Great composition.

Strong colors, but maybe too much. Looks like a lot of Photoshop work. 6 from me.

Sunset? Very pretty whichever it is.
Post actions
the tilted horizon takes away lots from the calm scene. could be a tad sharper, too
Post actions
Great colors, but for my tastes, a level horizon on this shot would be preferred. Excellent capture!
Post actions
was that horizon tilt on purpose? Nice shot though. 7

the tilted horizon makes me dizzy.

beautiful picture but the horizon is slanted to my eye (5)

Very cool shot, but the horizon line feels wrong to me.
Post actions
A bit tilted however aside from that I like the colors you've shown here
Post actions
Nice shot, however, would like this with a little less processing done.

Beautiful sky, and nice reflection. Love it!

The levelling gets in the way of an outstanding shot for me
Post actions
Beautiful shot. Horizon seems very slanted though.
Post actions
Good colours and composition but don`t like the tilt.7
Post actions
The horizon looks crooked
Post actions
Looks like the Potomac River, but the shot is a little crooked :-/
Post actions
Love the shot, gorgeous colours, great reflection but the tilt really hurts it and loses you a couple of marks.
Post actions
Your horizon is running up hill to the left?
Post actions
this shot has great substance, I like the composition an the warm colours, but the crooked horizon really doesnt give the rest of the picture credit!Your postprocessing is also quite visible, mostly on the woods that seem too bright and flat in comparison to the rest of the picture.. also the halo around the the backend of the woods make the postprocessing way to obvious...but overall a really nice entry :-)

Your photo isn't aligned perfectly. Great shot, but could've used a rotate 2 or 3 degrees CCW.
Post actions
Nice picture.
Post actions
I like the photo, but it appears to be tilted. I would have liked it better if it was straight.
Post actions
This would have been wonderful if only it was straight. Great coloring.
Post actions
Seems like it should have been rotated a few degrees counter-clockwise to level out the horizon.
