Thanks for the critique. However, it is so hard to tell. I looked before posting, and if you take a look at the house, way in the horizon, you will see that it actually does look leveled. Also, the oak tree looks pretty leveled to me. You can't really go by the field level, because it could have easily been on a small hill. Honestly, I didn't notice that the field is indeed "hilly", but when I was leveling my image, I went by the house position/level, and the big oak tree. That said, I will play with the image some more and see if it makes sense to "tilt" it a little to the left.

I appreciate the constructive critique. :)

OK, I did some more leveling, and now the field line is nice and straight. However, the tree seems tilted to the left to me. If someone else would like to comment on this, it would be good, and I would appreciate any further constructive critique. Thanks!

Trees don't grow straight. Looks perfect now. :-)

I agree the second one is much better. It helps the image a lot.

Love the colors and corrected horizon


2 Samuel 9:7-8, "So David said to him, “Do not fear, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father’s sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your grandfather; and you shall eat bread at my table continually.” Then he bowed himself, and said, “What is your servant, that you should look upon such a dead dog as I?”

Yes, that does look better when you compare both.
I still like the first one, the earth is not flat.  :p
