I really really like number 1. I like number 2 as well but most people will probably want you to straighten it up. Everything is listing to the port side...

#1 is beautiful but the horizon is slanted... or is it just my old eyes?

Yes, but very very slightly. An easy fix though.

You're in my beautiful city and that's all you got? For that, I'm disappointed......

#1 is nice though, wish you had more pictures!

I do see what you mean things slanting. I will correct his in PP and watch for that in the future.

@ Riain-san: You do have a beautiful city. I was there on on business and didn't have a lot of time. I did get some others but am sure I missed more than I saw. One could spend a couple weeks there and not see it all. You are very fortunate.

Yes, but very very slightly. An easy fix though.

Both are slightly askew, which might be problematic if these are for a publication (internet or hardcopy.) However, not having everything squared up feels more authentic to me -- more engaging with the physical world. There's very little in nature that is actually level ... especially near water! One of the strengths of the bridge shot seems to me to be the contrast between the depth of the blues in the sky -- with it's bright moon -- and the warmth of the golden tones in the reflection. This unusual juxtaposition is wonderfully captured and lends a great deal of depth to the shot. Good eye!

The Barbara Ann looks to be about the same vintage as my older sister of the same name. Gave me a laugh. Thanks! Again, I love the angles and the clarity of focus in this shot.
