Same as HDR guy :). I had to do a little manipulation to give some colour to the sky though, but none of those quoted. Specially for Steve who disapproves of those techniques. :) BTW: I cannot get rid of the feeling of the horizon being skew, but all the software I have here tells me I am wrong and the horizon is straight... This is the same place as in my two previous posts and the time is same too. This is the other end of the little lake in the middle of the town. Thanks to Ted's [Lightpainter] kind advice the horizon was straightened by PhotoScape. Lt SAM & Sgt SAAB

The horizon looks straight enough for me...but then again...I am looking at it sideways! .. .. ~Chuckles~

Beautiful work SAM. It's after 5 p.m. here in Italy and that means a cocktail at Happy Hour. Looks straight to me (hic)!

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

Looks straight to me SAM and a lovely soft light in this but warmth from the grasses.

Straight as an arrow! You did a good job with the sky, and everything else, SAM. I love the scene!

Dont worry, SAM. People with (some) maritime experience have always problems with a straight horizon. (It's up to you how you like to interpret this, lol).

Fine capture again!

Regards and a hug for SAAB, Cornelius.

Looks like a good place for agents to clear the cobwebs, SAM & SAAB.
I like the view across the pond.
I can't help but wonder what the very large building is on the right. Is it a sanitarium for folks who have crooked horizons?

A beautiful scene especially as Mr Orton has been banished. When it comes to the horizon all I have to say is... .

Nice...the only problem I have is that the sky looks banded. Maybe isolate the sky and soften or smooth it.

I'm sure when the contract negotiations are finished that Mr. Norton will be back at work. Until then he seems to have found a great place to hang out. A great view and capture, SAM. Nice depth in the scene.
