That is a wonderful image. Is it me or is the horizon a bit slanted?

Hey Tony,

This is a nice shot, it's cool to see the flame. I agree though that it's not level. This is a tricky one to level with competing lines in the background to throw the eye off. One point of reference, though it's a bit wide, is the flame should be going straight up, not off at an angle. Also the lines in the crater that you can see probably should be pretty level.
