    Thanks. I think it may be the angle from which the photo was taken - I used the verticle edges of the buildings in the center to align - if I align the lights to verticle, the buildings and horizon are skewed at an odd angle.

    It is a very nice shot- you can correct the lens distortion in Photoshop.
    Thanks!

    You can keep the horizon straight by using the perspective correction in PS instead of just rotating. It may take a few tries to get it to look right but I think it is quite important that the lights be vertical in these shots. I like them both, BTW. thumb.gif

    Thanks, I just recently moved up from PS Elements, and I'm still figuring it all out. I'll have to give that a look tonight.
