Also - check the horizon - it does seem straight.

I also agree about the foreground trees.They appear as if the light is coming from the wrong direction and they would not be so bright considering the tonality of the rest of the photo.Yes the horizon is listing to the right

I also noticed the bright trees. Most of them are shorter (younger?) than the tall ones. I don't know whether that plays a role.

It might probably come from the use of a grad filter…

There is no horizon in this photograph. I think that what you are referring to is the far shore of the lake - and there is no earthly reason why that should be horizontal.
