Kind of a weird "illusion" happening here. Tree doesn't lean...it's straight, so is horizon. See how the distant tree line dissapears into the grass knoll on the right? Well, to straighten the tree visually really distorts the actual horizon....and vice-versa as far as the tree is concerned. It was just an interesting cloud structure and I wanted to get the approach. The process wasn't over-thought. Hope yall enjoy.

Very nice! I agree with your logic. I much prefer a level horizon to a level tree. :D :thumb

The round flaring at the upper right is a bit much...was that added in from PS?

:agree with Mahesh on the sun flare, but I love everything else. That hole in the clouds is particularly interesting, almost eerie! The horizon being straight makes the tree look more determined to reach the sun :thumb

I feel the same way. Great image but the flare around the sun really distracts me.

Interesting panorama !
I agree about flare tooo

Not all trees grow straight up so it works very well for me. I really like the sun :thumb

That's a beautiful shot. I love the wide view. You don't miss a thing.
