This is my favourite sunset picture from my Round Lake Erie tour.

Unfortunately Evanola state park has a high fence at the edge of the cliff where I took this picture. There was absolutely no way for me to capture this picture without including at least part of the fence in it.

Using photo editing software I was able to remove the extra fence section by cropping out most of it and then cloning the water on top of the section of fence that remained.

This picture still isn't perfect. Another tool I could use to make this picture even better is a straightening tool. This tool allows you to draw a line along the horizon. When you double click on the line the horizon becomes level if you drew the line correctly.

In this case I decided to leave the horizon alone and settle for a not so perfect, perfect photo of my favourite Lake Erie sunset.
