Does anyone have tips on the best way to get the horizon level when editing images? I try my best to use floodlight poles as a reference, but on Lightroom its hard to match the gridlines with the poles in the background. Does anyone have a good way to level using lightroom? Thanks

I mean that looks pretty good to me, usually if I can I use buildings as a reference point and level them vertically to the border of the image. Others may have different technics/tactics at attacking horizon, however thats how i've always done it.

Yeah its just hard to get the gridlines absolutely aligned with items in the background, this photo is pretty easy because there are loads of lines that can be used.

Hi, some of these I have had rejected in the past and so I can't quite remember the rejection reasons before to work on adjusting them. But now I have had a fresh go at editing and would like some advice on these and some new ones, please

1 & 3 a bit dark/green tint/oversharpened. 4 probably needs a bit of CW rotation. Otherwise ok for me.

[JamesDC152]

Thanks, thoughts on these two?

Thanks, thoughts on these two?

1. contrast, borderline centering/motive (at least half of the frame is washed out sky)
2. contrast, color (green tint)

Also, as per #3 here, please try to keep your requests to a max 5/per 24 hours:

Thanks, apologies regarding the 24 hour rule. How about this photo?

Likely an obstruction rejection since you could have waited a few seconds for the ramp worker to clear the engine.
