 Taken last saturday from a boat opposite the London Eye. I really liked the shadow of the Eye on the building to the left.

I am having real trouble with whether this is level or not. I have tried straightening thinking that was the problem but I just seem to make it worse.

Can anybody offer any help or ideas?

nice shot. I do prefer annasense's edit though. brightens it up nicely. the subject and composition or nice just seems a tad dark, maybe cloudy.

Again, great shadow shot. With regards to the horizontal level, strange on, the bank looks level, the boat tilts to the left, and yet the building tilts to the right. Maybe if you cropped the water off just below the tree-line and the tilted to the left to straighten the building ...but what do I know, lol.

i like your composition on this... the thing that sort of distracts for me is how dark it is... the entire image seems a little flat, to me. what about an edit like this?

sort of takes the "sunset" part out, but i think it's a little more pleasing, color-wise... but this is just my opinion. i pulled the horizon down just a tad on the right side, too.

I really like the lighting on this one. However, I feel there is a bit too much water showing in the forground. Cropping it just under the boat I think would work.

And yes, it does feel a bit tilted to the left (based on line just above boat) but the building seems tilted to the right.

What you may have to do is straighten so the water line doesn't seem tilted then do a perspective adjustment to correct the building. The image is probably suffering from a bit of barrel distortion.

Probably a bit too much open space around the subject(s) for my taste. The lighting on the eye and the building on the left is quite nice. A tighter comp would have helped. The building behind the eye, on the right of the photo, is also intriguing, but unfortunately, not enough detail is really accessible. I think either the building with the shadow, or the wheel, would have made a better subject, rather than trying to include both.
