My REAL biggest gripe is people not liking my photos when they should.

A great little tip is holding the camera above one’s eye. Slowly bring the viewfinder down to your eye. The image that is in the viewfinder will have a horizon. Trees or sides of buildings make for great perpendiculars. It does take time to develop this trick. It will eventually become habit.

That's what editing is for, no?

Many people can be rude because there is a great deal of anonymity. Whenever someone is here and talks down to me or berates me, I will set them straight.If that person points out a mistake or flaw In something I wrote, I try to be quick to apologize. We should be all here to learn from each other. However, I came to the Ugly Hedge Hog shortly after I purchased a dSLR. I am learning both digital and still goofing around with film. So I make a mistake and I learn got the next set. Occasionally, the “Admin” sets me straight. BTW, I do have a few favorites who give good insight!

I agree. I’ve told my kids that when you know you are right, stick by your guns. If you find you are mistaken, apologize.

simple, good upbringing usually lasts a lifetime, and it's always good to pass it on to your kids!

Me, too. I shoot mostly candid (moving Great-Grandson!). Straightening is easy in PSE, but filling in the resultant empty spaces can be a challenge which autofill can't do.
Have you tried straightening in Adobe Camera RAW? You can even do it for JPEGs. ACR is my go-to for straightening (and I use PSE).
