What's your biggest gripe?

Mine is looking at photo's that aren't level. I seem to have a particular talent for spotting the slightest deviation from the perpendicular and only wish I could extend that talent to the many other faults I display in my own images.

That's mine also, John. The problem is that it's not right to correct every one that does it (unless they ask). It is surprising the number of folks that have a great photo only to be ruined by being off ever so slightly. I'm by far not a great photographer but I strive for straight horizons. I'm the same with framed pictures around the house. Thanks for bringing this up John...good to get off my chest.

Yep, off-level horizons. I see it all the time in otherwise great photos.
Im guilty! 🥵

Mine is posting fourteen photos that are almost exactly the same--pick one or two. And off-kilter horizons. Both are so easy to correct.

Most cameras have electronic levels. In other instances, one can buy a bubble level and slide it into the hot shoe.

I notice it quickly on others' photos because I make that same mistake!

I have the tendency to tilt the camera counter clockwise if not paying attention for some reason. I’m always correcting in LR. It’s a bad habit I can’t seem to overcome 😩

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.

Photos and videos taken with a cell phone that is held vertical instead of horizontal.

I agree! It’s so apparent and so easy to fix!!!

My gripe is the many photos posted that are extremely over processed. I know what nature looks like and these photos are just not natural to me and just not appealing.
As far as level I'm guilty for being slightly off but I had a mini stroke in my view finder, dominant, eye so being forced to use the other eye throws me off. Now I know I do it I double check the levelness

I agree with you. There are times that the camera, or the image, is rotated to create an understandable artistic view. I believe our minds are wired with a "bubble level" so we expect a body of water to be level.
