I love the lines and composition of this.
The slight tilt to the right does throw me a wee bit but I like

LOL. Thank you.

Now that I've looked at it more, I see that I could have used the straight support as a guide. It does feel a little topsy-turvey.

great!
good luck with contest!!!

I catch the same thing a lot in my photos. I've trained myself to look for it so I dont have to 'revise' later. LOL Its a habit now on any picture with a horizon line or verticals. Quick 2 second fix in photoshop.

It is? How? I mean, the frame is already set. The competition I entered it into didn't allowed edited or cropped photos anyway. But I'm interested in knowing how you fix this in photoshop?

Painfully simply... Only after someone showed me LOL

In Photoshop with the picture loaded...

Click on the 'measure' tool (right-click on the 'eyedropper' tool and you'll see the menu pop up showing the little ruler which is the measure tool)

Using the measure tool, click-n-drag a line of any length along something in the picture you know should be truly vertical or horizontal. Along a horizon line or vertical post or wall for instance.

Go to the IMAGE menu -> ROTATE CANVAS and select ARBITRARY.

The dialog box will pop up with the correct amount of degrees of rotation already filled in to bring the picture to the proper orientation.
Just click OK.... VIOLA! Everything is straight and level
Give it a go on a copy of this shot

Hey I did it . . . it made the content of the picture oriented completely straight, but the frame of the picture is just crooked. There's black space around it in an uneven way. Is that's what's supposed to happen? =? Thanks for the instruction, btw. That is a very nifty tool!
