Erik,

You did well balancing the bush on the left with the BG platform but you have a number of things working against you here. Not much visual interest in the middle ground of the image. Shooting into the sun has created deep shadows. The whites in the clouds are blown out for that reason. Image could also use a CW rotation to straighten the image.

Hi Erik,
Definitely needs a CW rotation....if you scroll down to the horizon....gives you an idea of how much it is off. A hot shoe bubble levels helps with theis issue in the field. Ii also agree with Robert on the tech specs too.....if this is a Raw image....you can try processing once for the highlights and once for the midtones and combining them....in any case.....I would crop off a decent portion of the bottom....to further emphasize the platform....but because of the light angle....not sure it will carry the image anyway.
