This makes me feel so off balance......nice image, but the tilting everywhere makes me twitch....6

Very nice lights. It is quite tilted to the right.

Beautiful reflection of a place that I'd really like to visit someday.

It may be just the illusion of the perspective but the horizon looks tilted on this photo. The shore line and the house lines seem to run diagonal however the top of the mountain looks normal so I don't know.

what a cool location - the house with all the Christmas lights and trees and the frost on the hills above - but the processing seems a bit heavy handed, as if a bit too much contrast was used

I'm sure that this is straight, I think it's the water that makes me feel like I'm leaning backwards...

This is very nice, but bothered a bit by being out of alignment. Needs to come back ccw by a few degrees to get the vertical straight.

I really like the colors in this shot, the reflection on the lake and the mountain behind the cabin. however, I think the horizon is a little crooked, maybe a re-edit and straighten the horizon?

Lovely mood and love the cold feel in the upper halve and th ewarmth of the house by means of lights and the reflections in the water. Special scene and love it 7

I think I would have liked this one even more if it was cropped just above the house.

Wonderful shot. I like the contrast between the different colors.

personally i would have prefered seeing the waters edge level and the sky not as blown out as much
that said its a beautiful image the light reflections in the water add that little bit extra 7 from me

The textures seem very flat -- like too much noise reduction or smoothing has been applied.

Straighten up and fly right :)

Oh I'm sure whoever has that lodge/house would love this. It's wonderful and would make a great Christmas card or ad for visiting guests. Nice.

reflection of lights is cool

Such a pretty scene, I like the tones.

I like this for the wonderful colors, reflections, and calm overall feel to it. Can't help but lean to the right to view it...have you tried straightening the horizon some? Hmmm...after further viewing maybe it's just the angle the photo was taken from. Still, that first reaction is hard to shake off. I think if you used a perspective tool and got the verticals on the front of the house to be, well, vertical, it could help. :-)
