Key Largo Sunsets

[SquarePeg39]

A few sunset shots from our recent vacation. C&C welcome.

OK, straightened as best I could. Again this is something I struggle with especially on seascapes. They look level when I look at them individually. When I post them all in a column on here I can see the discrepancies.

Nice enough sunsets, but they all need leveling! The water's all running out the left side and onto my desk.

Well it was the Keys, there were multiple margaritas involved! It's hard to hold the camera level without spilling your drink.

Seriously though, while I find the constant comments on here about horizons to be a bit on the nit picky side, I do struggle with that issue. I think I must hold my camera slightly tilted in almost every shot. And in PS11 I find the straighten tool very difficult to work with.

nice. If you have LR the leveling tool is very easy

I like the first photo the most, the other ones felt too vanilla for me. The first one has nice balance and color, and is quite soothing. I agree with the first comment that they need to be leveled, especially the second one. Leveling is not hard in PS or LR. In LR, you can use the ruler and draw a line right across the horizon and it will level it perfectly. In PS, you could use the wide angle perspective filter and do the same thing.
