Thanks Paul, funny you mention the horizon. I took a lot of shots because when I chimped, the horizon was severely tilted, sometimes unbelievably so even for me (beyond recovery without losing too much of the scene). I have quite a difference in height between my shoulders and used to capture tilted horizons all the time until I learned to compensate, but for this scene I just had to keep shooting trial and error due to lots of false horizontal references. It was frustrating because the sun kept going behind the clouds and the shadows disappeared so I had to keep waiting for another attempt and the shadows kept getting longer and longer. I originally had better framing than this but the length of the shadows eventually led to this. -Najinksy

Really like this one, and that's quite an illusion because when I glance it looks like the horizon is tilted but when I grid it it's perfect. Paul
