Nothing special but the almost mirror like reflection caught me eye ... with Narrowboats and ducks regularly  on this stretch   it seemed unusual  for the water to be so still .

Love when things come together like that.

Nice!

Is it me or is the level out a tad?

Thanks  Den. It does look odd but that patio area at the bottom of the steps is actally a triangle widening from the path on the left .  My vantage point to take the photo was a road  whose level was about top of the balcony so I was looking down onto the canal . The verticals are correct  but because  the height I was above the ground level  of the canal there is an optical illusion and I should have thought about that .. If I made the edge of the water horizontal it would throw the verticals out ..  ... The horrors of looking up or looking down when it comes to perspectives  doh ...   You are right though ... It does make it look as if water is falling down to the left ...lol

You are right Polly, upon a second look the verticals are ...verticle ! The more I look the more pronounced the effect..weird but in a good way

It is a strange one ... Now that you have brought it to my attention... It's a bit like Ryewolf's tractor ..(.all I see is that bald man with a balaclava on )  once you see it ... you just  can't see anything else.

I'm never one to argue with a women, but Lightroom has a handy grid in the rotate function.

I can do that by  tiny increments on photoshop  too Colin ...  And I could change the perspective too with the appropriate tool ...     Off to the dentist now ... But will do that and see when I come back ...  But you can do it too if you want ..    Anyway  I'm  sure  Yvonne  gave you permission  to ....   ouch  X

Looks fine to me, although my eyesight is not what it was...........

Ok, I also thought the levels where out, they were just by a nadge... a 1 degree to the right rotation solves it...

Oooer .. I forgot to come back to this one ... yup ...looks like  you  chaps have all got it right  . What do I know eh ?  1 degree did it Rye ... thanks ...  that looks a lot  better.. Cheers
