Yeah, I can tell it's slanted to the right

It becomes more noticeable if you scroll down so the horizon is close to the top of the browser window. But I tend to really notice when a horizon is off, because I'm EXTRA-straight

Heres the b&w of that shot. Thanks

That's a lot better (IMHO at least). Still needs a bit more contrast in the logs, I think (although this laptop's screen isn't the most accurate, especially off-axis), but the problem is, the bird is SO much darker, it makes it tricky to darken anything else without turning it into a featureless blob.
Edit: that first one would look cool in B&W too, although the colors in it are amazing...
