Sorry guys, perhaps I should have been less cryptic - no what I meant was, that after my dummy spitting moment regarding the use and over use of ND filters to flatten out the sea, that I would accept I was wrong and after eating my words, I would go straight out and do some shots using that technique and this is one of them. OK the sea is not that predominant in the scene, but what there is of it, is quite flat due to a very long exposure.
I also realised that I had been tightening the pixels too tightly (thanks Slobodan) and making the images way too crunchy, which I have also tried to back away from. I suppose crunchy pixel images, are the result of being able to use all the tools to the point where you stumble into the realm of the unbelievable.
Ken the horizon is straight, I use the grid function in PS to check this (Ctrl+'), but I know what you mean, as sometimes the horizon looking awry can be an optical illusion, look at
this image and tell me that the edges look straight? I have a large print of this scene and it is a right old job trying to hang it on the wall so it looks level
