There's an easy way to find out and correct it in PS. In Tools, go to the Eyedropper drop down menu and select Measure. You can then draw a line along the apparent horizon (either horizontally or, in other photos, use a tree or light pole and draw a vertical line). Then go to Image>Rotate Canvas>Arbitrary. It will tell you how many degrees off of straight the line is and, if you click OK, it will straighten the photo for you. You may already know this, but it's often the only way I can tell if my photos are exactly straight. I tend to tilt them slightly to the right. It's a gorgeous photo anyway and makes me want to go there. Tina Tina Manley, ASMP, NPPA http://www.tinamanley.com
