Photography Tip - Simple But Important

Here is a photography tip that is so simple that it is often overlooked.  The crooked horizon.  As many of you know, I am not a professional photographer but own a photography studio.  My job is to correct mistakes, through photoshop, that come through my studio.  I would guess that besides the obvious removing people from the background, removing stray hair, etc, straightening the horizon is way up there.  When you set up to take a shot, especially on the beach where the horizon plays a very big part of the background, make sure the horizon is straight and not going through the head of your subject.  This task is sometimes more difficult for taller photographers.  Just take a moment before you click your shutter and make sure the horizon is  below the head and that it is straight.
