Got rejected for horizon on this one. Not really sure which pole to use as vertical reference. On which pic does the horizon look ok? thanks in advance.

Somewhere between the two would probably be best. Try to look at the verticals towards the center of the frame.

Is the face too recognizable ? The cap covers a part of his face and i believe he's part of the demo team of the gyrocopter as well.

Would be a motive rejection, yes.

Hello,

Need some help with the horizon here. It looks straight to me. I used the white pole behind the aircraft as reference.

Deceiving, but slight CCW might help.
