I would vote for the 3rd one. It would be similar to the 2nd, but not over-tilted. While I am not a stickler to having all photos leveled, a bunch of Pisa poles are disturbing my eye. So, the 2nd one is more pleasing, but I think you rotated it just a bit too much. I would back off just a notch.

Ann - If it comes down to a choice between the two images, I'd pick the first. I like the first one because it shows what the bridge is bridging, but I would prefer the spires to be vertically upright. I'm curious how you straightened it. Did you just rotate and crop or did you try to use the

At the risk of redundancy, I'll echo the sentiments expressed by the others: I like the first shot best, though the second shot certainly doesn't put me off in any way. (We don't have them there fancy bridges in western Kentucky, BTW.) -- Walt On 4/27/2012 10:06 AM, Ann Sanfedele wrote:

The second is immensely more pleasing to my eye. I think it’s not the leveling, it’s having lost the visual junk in the lower left, freeing up the smaller streetlight curves to echo the larger ones in the center. -T On Fri, Apr 27, 2012 at 8:06 AM, Ann Sanfedele ann...@nyc.rr.com wrote: I've

I almost always go for straight verticals, but in this case, I prefer the first shot. A lot more information there, and the tilt tends to complement the image a bit. Paul On Apr 27, 2012, at 2:09 PM, Ann Sanfedele wrote: On 4/27/2012 11:47, George Sinos wrote: Ann - If it comes down to a
