You can't always level a horizon just because it looks like it's not. The fact is, it's a "trompe l'oeil" effect. It just LOOKS like the horizon is not level. The woman in the shot is perfectly vertical, so the lake horizon CAN'T be unlevel. I've taken shots of lakes and rivers with a perfectly leveled camera on both planes...vertical and horizontal....and the horizon in the shot looks off kilter. Remember, a photo is a two dimensional thing, so the perspective is different from  viewing it in three dimensions. By the way....I prefer the colour shot. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
