I was going to straighten out the horizon but it's actually on a hill so I wanted to keep true to the actual view. For vertical placement I wanted the expanse on the sky so I didn't want to split it 50/50. Were you thinking more along the lines of the rotational aspect of the horizon of the vertical? I'd like to be able to improve on this. I have a shot in tradition landscape format I'll finalize later and I wouldn't mind returning becuase I'd like to get more depth. I shot it at F/18. I'll try F22. It's not the best lens but it's my widest and I want a sharp close foreground object with the bluebell. Thanks for the comments.
