I'd have to change the crop to a non-standard aspect ratio, but I could
get a little bit more.
Still, the horizon-corrected version leaves the image more unbalanced to
my eye -- to the point of physically tilting my head to the right.
Nevertheless, I do appreciate the suggestions. It'll give me food for
thought the next time I set up shots of that type -- and maybe even
cause me to consult the electronic level on the K-5!

Walt,
I guess I've got things around me intense enough so that I
don't need everything to be as saturated. ;-)
But you do as you do, - that's your vision of the world.
Yep, - I think the vertical (and horizon) is proper now.
The slope of the land is not a problem. The axis of the symmetry is
now horizontal.
I see that the crop at the top and at the bottom (around the tallest
group of trees in the middle) became tighter now.
While it might be the result of the tilt, - but it seems to me
you would have more space along both edges remaining.
I would let a bit more air there.
Best,
Igor

Thanks, Bob.
I see exactly what you're talking about, now. Unfortunately, when I try
to align that vertical, it really emphasizes the slope of the land and
makes the horizon look even more off-kilter to my eye.

Walt,
That's a nice and vibrant image. I love the light and dark colors
together.
Take a look at the tall double tree with a bit of white trunk showing
high up.
Vertical will be a line going thru the trunk reflections in the lake
and trunk in the sky.
Looks to me like you are still a bit off when I roll the left side of
the image in.
Regards, Bob S.

I fiddled with the horizon in LR, but when I did, it still seemed a
little
off to me. Part of it has to do with the earth having been a bit more
built-up along the right-hand side of the image compared to the area
at the
left.
As for the colors, I guess that's just a quirk of mine. I've always
liked
saturated colors, contrast and deep shadows. I guess I tend to
process my
images according to the way I want the world to look. :)

Walt,
It is a great catch!
However, two things disturb my eyes:
1. The (infamous) horizon, or rather vertical in this case is a bit
tilted CW: you can see that the subject and its reflection are not
on the
same vertical line.
It is a small amount but sufficient for the eye to catch.
2. I don't know how it is on your screen, but on mine it seems
to be slightly oversaturated (or the contrast is too high).

A shot I grabbed while sitting by a little lake near the club
where I work. The area I live in has little lakes like this
all over the place.
Unfortunately, the nicest ones sit on a local wildlife
preserve that gets closed off from October to April (or
possibly May), so I can't get a lot of the fall photos I'd
really like. So, this will just have to do for now.
