Many say that horizon is off but it just some kind optical illusion. I’ve tried to level it out but if I do more then it starts leaning to the other side.
As for HDR I think it’s either you like it or hate it. :)Beautiful sky and I love the windmill, where abouts is it? Would love to have a
go at it, as Mark says it is a bit off, if you look at the pillar to the right of the
frame the gap is off a bit, but I know what you mean if you straighten it so that
the pillar looks right then the windmill looks off, I am sure there is a way of correcting
this in PS but I dont know it I’m afraid :) I think if you desaturated it just a little it
would look great.I do like HDR treatment, but a little goes a long way, especially in the colour.
I’m not a great fan of HDR but I think in this instance it works quite well, nice shot.
nice shot! I like the HDR and suits this image but agree with shutterbug on the saturation.

There is a slope up the windmill so the horizon should not be straight but the camera is still not level. If you look at the pillar on the right, it’s sloping to the left. You should use the transform-skew tool to pull it to the right, been careful not to cut into the pillar. The windmill will follow suit slightly. I just tried it and it is possible.
I think the colours are too saturated. They look artificial at the moment. Also you might need to change the settings when tone mapping. The white wind mill, which although I’m sure is not clean seems to have a really dirty appearance. This is a problem which happens with white and grey monotone areas where you have an uneven look. Any area where you have differences in tones seems to be very exaggerated.
If you look at the roof it goes from pitch black to bright out highlights. The black part seems to be facing the sun and burnt out bit seems to be more on the side in shadow. At least if you go by the sunlight on the white wall.
