Afternoon at the marsh

Took this pic this afternoon will prowling around a nearby marsh, thanks for looking, C&C welcome.

Nice reflections on the water Trevor, but this is a dilemma shot for me as there is an illusion of the photo tilting downwards from left to right. The illusion is further compounded by the trunks of the trees on the left as they too are leaning inwards. Now the reason that I said "illusion" is that it is prbably just that - the sides of the water are just curving, and the trees are growing that way.

My comments are not meant by any means as a criticism of your photo, but more of a topic for discussion and that is, if you have a photo that looks like it might be at an angle, do you rotate it slightly so that it looks correct, or do you leave it because that is the way it is - even though it seems off to the viewer?

John, no offense taken, you are right, the curving of both shorelines, especially the one in the background make this look like a tilted photo, which kinda messes with the clouds....hmm maybe I was tilted, and maybe the tree on the right is the one leaning in. I'm going to have to go back there with a level for another shot. The far background acually fades away to the left, making it look tilted. thanks for looking.

Maybe I need to stick it on a grid in PS but it does look actually tilted instead of a illusion.

I think you folks are right, gave my head a shake, rotated 1 degree CCW and croped off the borders, hows this look.

Much better, very nice shot.

That's better Trevor.

Thanks everyone for the comments.
