You are welcome

I constantly correct my horizons - very easy to do in Lightroom or Picasa, that I use often when posting to this forum...

Thanks Georg.. I have Lightroom and Elements. So many times in thepast I would be working on a picture and my daughter would come in and say. "Dad, your horizon is off" Crap... and then she moves it the opposite way I would to fix it and done!!! I have to think backwards on the fix almost!! Cheers JIM

Crap on Pentax for poor viewfinder/sensor alignment (on both of mine). It's the only complaint I have for either camera - but it's big.

Yay, Elements has the level tool (and spot-healing brush).

The horizons look fine but this is one of the few times that I like the color version better than the B&W, the color one has more depth to it, maybe the B&W is a bt too contrasty?

I am with Buddha. There is something about the color version that leads the eye that is missing in the B&W.

I think it could be the way I hold it and the horizon at times tricks my eyes.. Makes it look at but it has a lot to do with where I am focusing the shot I find.. Cheers JIM

Buddha Jones.. I agree and yes I had a little more contrast on the black and White, though I might still play with it a bit bacause I think it has potential in B&W.. JIM
