    Hi Lynn, it's a nice lake, very serene looking. The dark clouds are a bit foreboding. Nothing particularly grabs me, but it's nice. ne_nau.gif

    I'm paddling my canoe towards the warmth while wondering what is around the point.

    And.....I definitely am not bored. :D

    i think you got nice range of colors here and the clouds definately add some drama but maybe some human element or a flock of geese would add something more

    The horizon is straight.

    The water gives it the illusion of not being. The water line need not be straight. At least I haven't seen to many that are.

    That is not the horizon.

    The horizon is the line that separates earth from sky. More precisely, it is the line that divides all of the directions you can possibly look into, into two categories: those which intersect the Earth, and those which do not. At many locations, the true horizon is obscured by trees, buildings, mountains, etc. The resulting intersection of earth and sky is instead known as the visible horizon. However, if you are on a ship at sea, the true horizon is strikingly apparent. ...

    You are right. But the general feeling is that the horizon is a little bit tilted.... :):
    Just a question of detail, exagerated may be...ne_nau.gif

    One more thing:
    Sometimes, tilted horizon is a good solution :):

    For example.

    And I also agree, shoreline on the lakes can be tricky and it *is* different from the true horizon...

    I had even stronger effect with this shot of Mono Lake:

    76033817-M.jpg

    where other dgrinners suggested that I should evel the image, too :):

    If you check the tufa towers, they are vertical, but the water looks skewed....

    That is precisely how I came to realise this myself. I was arbitrarily straightening my shoreline shots using the waterline as a reference....then the trees were tilted!!! rolleyes1.gif
