I like this too. I like the look of the sky and how it looks so vast compared to everything else.

Thankyou guys, it was a lovely day and the cloud formations were amazing, I felt I had to concentrate on the sky but the dunes (grass) add a bit of texture. Glad you like it.

This one is my fave of the three. The grass adds interesting texture and curve of the beach draws the eye around along it. Yes, the cloud does indeed look like a Tennessee Twister.
The photo sea/horizonis leaning rather badly to the left tho - I'd straighten that if I were you

Do you know Kev, I hadn't looked at the horizon on this one - was so taken up with the sky and cloud formations but you are right - leaning to the left. Apparently, my physio has said that I hold my right shoulder forward and high so that will account for it but no excuse to not make sure horizons are straight post production! Cheers Y)

Is that a bit better for you, Kev?

Yvonne, It's still a little bit out.
A quick method to make sure it's level is to scroll your 'horizon' line up to the top edge of your web browser window (which is straight of course) and if the line runs exactly parallel along the top edge with your photo horizon...then you know it's flush.
As you can see it's still 4-5 degrees leaning to down to the left.

I'm not sure I'm seeing that - it is a natural landscape and therefore may not always run straight. The rocks and dunes may be creating an illusion and even after applying your tip, I dont see it out that much. It would be easier if it was a sea horizon or a building but its much harder with landscapes where there is other stuff going on.

I'm talking about the sea horizon....that has to be level.
It's about 4-5 degrees out. Look along the coastline/waters edge from centre frame to right-side. That's your gideline horizon. It slopes from right to centre at the moment.
The mountain/hill horizon is irrelevent, and will adjust accordingly when the sea is set proper.
Scroll the pic up so the right-edge (beach level) exactly aligns with the browser window edge...you will then see it's level drop down in the centre of frame.

Hey Kev, thats the best I can do without over-compensating in the opposite direction! Even with the grid on, the previous straightening attempt looked OK - must be my eyes, not getting any younger, you know!

That's much better, those 4-5 degrees make all the difference, especially for an OCD'er like me. You've actually overdone it just a tad, however, we don't want to split a haggis, now do we
