    Can't level based on the top of La Terrasse - it's angled to the perspective, and would tilt the whole picture too CW. The wall closest to the center line is parallel, and both ends bend inward. Didn't use lens correction.

    Mark, that building is actually at an angle to the shooting position so the roofline is NOT supposed to be level... but the verticals always are unless you are angled way up or way down

I say if you have enough pixels, place it dead smack in the center and it may be more acceptable? Just a thought.
    I suppose I could re-crop, but as you probably know - it's annoying when you spend time fixing the cited problem, only to have a new issue cited a week later More than likely, I won't bother re-uploading. Not a big fan of re-cropping out of the way I shot a scene.

    I hear you and understand... been there (am there) all the time

    Problem for me is that I manage in Lightroom but finish in Photoshop and when you have to start the process from scratch, it is a PITA. Not really but, you know... Editing should take no more than 12 minutes per image or thereabouts but sometimes with careful selective sharpening to get it just right and make it the best it can be, it can take some time. Having to re-edit means remembering the special edits which is harder.

    Hmmm when you do auto fill it gives you the correct C/N # which is 35195. Is that what you had in there ?

    Cary raised a good point. The level was an easy fix but if he framed it to show more of the top of the building and anet wants it centered it's his call. I run into a similar thing shooting the garage at LAS you want to have the aircraft a little higher sometimes when you get some good stuff underneath but it's a chore to get it in the DB. Working on one for the last few months how to fit everything in the frame and get it past the screeners. It is what it is.

    Wrong serial number, though I did the auto fill
    Watch Auto-Fill it's not always accurate. Just google the tail # and the proper info will come up and just enter it yourself.

    Also.......on the Alaska 737, it looks like the nose and tail are very very close to the edge of the frame.

    For some reason I got 48574 for its serial...
    Resubmitting with the correct number.
    Yes I cropped it close because of the fact is how I straightened it brought the tail close to the tail area.

    Grrrrr.

    Shot this with the 17-40mm, did not get a good chance to square everything during the picture taking.



    Not sure which way to go with this one.

    I'd say slight CW, and use the left wall of the 4 windows facing the red truck as your vertical guide.
