| I've recieved comments about some of my images having "unlevel" horizons. The region of the world I live in has canyons, ridgelines, hilss and mountains. Very little of it is "level". For some reason this confuses people who aren't familiar with slopes and angles. Soooo, here's a tip: Look at the trees. Pine trees tend to grow vertically, or nearly so. If the trees are vertical, chances are the camera was level. If there is a building in the photo, a barn on a lower ridge, for instance. Buildings are built on leveled ground. Is the roofline level? If it is, then the camera was level, despite what your eyes are telling you. Just a couple of tips...

Don't take it personally...some are still learning.
If you have a problem with reality, quit taking photos and take up painting

I could not post this at the time because I had this image up, but here we have a typical example that not all that looks crooked really is, if you look at attachment 1 you could get the impression that the camera was crooked at the time, but now compare to attachment2, the rectangles on it show that it is not really, maybe a degree or two. So what makes us suppose that it is crooked? because the structure in itself is, see the red line. Another hint is that considerable bigger wedge under the ball on the front than on the back (red circle)
