You need a double bubble level Then you won't have to worry about levelling later.

It does feel like it needs CCW rotation to me but I couldn't prove it. I like your foreground.

Nice the way the foreground stone lead to the bush and into the frame. Those bubble levels are real handy, but maybe the effect here is due to the wide angle tilting down? Maybe thying to get the central columns looking vertical would level it out a bit?

yeah marshall, i think you're right...
the distortion of the lens is mixing things up...
so i had taken it looking at the left wall, and the distortion curves the right side out :-\

Now you say that it all makes a bit more sense. Even so the left wall still seems a bit tilted to the right.

A great composition. I think it needs a bit more contrast. A nice S-curve to the curves really adds a nice punch to the image.

Well done but would crop from the bottom about halfway up to the plant.

The tripod level doesn't do anything for getting the camera level since the camera is on a tripod head which has freedom of movement. You ahve to get the level either on the camera or on the tripod head above the moving joints.
