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.

Maybe it's just me?

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.

Thank you, Igor.

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.
