Sweet. Thats a great shot.

Well exposed for the different lighting in the scene.

Does look a bit tilted, check out the blocks on the building on the lower right. Distortion from using the wider 24mm is most likely the culprit for the tilted look with some elements appearing level.

Thanks all. I will go back and see about fixing the tilt. Maybe skew it instead of rotating.

Who cares if it's tilted?

Does the composition work? Why, yes, yes it does. The damn sweeps very elegantly across the middle of the frame, corner to corner in the approved Diagonals For Visual Drama fashion, the far shore of the lake echoes that line, it all flows quite elegantly and pleasingly.

Next someone's going to complain that the dam's toes are cut off, or the white balance is wrong.

OH THE IRONY!

Also, OP, the major thing that made the tilt apparent to me is that the reflection of the sun is not straight up and vertical as it should be. Nice shot though and congrats!

By all means, toy around with it. You would need to rotate it and correct for perspective and distortion. You don't have to do all of it, some of it, or any of though. It doesn't hurt to learn how to see and fix (if desired) these kinds of things. This is just a teaching moment for you, perhaps, or others beginning photography. That's all.

Feels good, doesn't it!

Congrats!

Save copies, frame em up.

I never said I was getting paid or I was a pro. I have before, got paid for portrait work. But unless you do it daily and is your main source of income your not a pro. This was more a charitable donation for a good cause. But to get published like this is a testament to how good Sony cameras are, to me anyway.
But I have also been published with a picture I took with a $35.00 Canonet.

yup. just like the reserves aren't real military.
I've always assumed that the term "pro" was largely based on your equipment, skill level, and end product... and not how often you do it.
could be wrong though.
