I like this Casil. the muted colours with just a 'pop' of orange works very well. I also like the lines leading me into the picture. :highfive:\
But I'm not sure it's level. :shrug:

Hmmm. it was slightly off level a smidge...is this any better? I levelled it 4x and according to lightroom it is level.

With the wide angle (and no horizon) levelling is always going to be a compromise in such photos as the lens distortion makes it impossible for all vertical elements to be vertical without using some sort of distort/perspective tool to correct. And even then it can be in vain.

oh how right you are Mad Aussie. I have an electronic spirit level in my camera and I still wonder what the hell I was doing when I look at some architectural shots w/a very wide angle. It's crazy. I've learned to trust the level though unless I'm going for another sort of perspective.

Nice train yard. Looks busy, yet desolate at the same time.

I love the leading lines of the tracks.

it does look better. And MA's explanation makes sense. :)
