Doesn't matter, it should be straight. Doesn't matter if you post process, so long as it looks right.

What mode did you use? Auto, manual, Tv, Av?

Try and not use Auto - practise in Tv or Av first, then move to full manual if you can - you'll feel better knowing that you set up the shot, rather than just pressing the button

the horizon is stright, there is a shadow on the water or soething that akes it fal away... look at the very top of the "line".

TBH i was playing about with all of the settings. I remembers the TV setting from an earlier post and i also used th landscape pre-set.

TBH, the horizon doesn't LOOK straight - whether its a trick of the eye or not. For instance, the second shots is far from square to the horizon.

As it stands they look unfinished - two seconds in photoshop and they're sorted

I'm not having a go, I often take shots that aren't lined up quite right, it isn't a problem, just needs correcting.
