I took that photo free hand with my wide angle Tokina 11-16mm lens. I tried to find a balance in the frame with the complicated angles created by the way the various layers of hills slope. Looks like if I rotate the photo roughly 1 degree counter clockwise, the back row of mtns would look a bit more level. The only problem is the foreground trees on the far right will appear to lean in more.
Aim for the chopping block. If you aim for the wood, you will have nothing. Aim past the wood, aim through the wood.

These pictures are awesome
Master of mediocrity.
Yeah, that's a tough one to split the difference on. FWIW, I prefer this second take. The mountains steady my balance personally, and I know that Tokina can add *some* distortion to geometric shapes on the perimeters. Of course, YMMV but the lowlights of the trees make the lean less noticeable yet the horizon is definitely a tell-tale sign.
Speaking of distortion on wide angles (the bridge does curve throughout the span in real life):

Yup, PNW. About an hour north of Seattle.
