Horizons straight or not?

Recently I read, more correctly viewed, a post of award winning photos. Of those I saw none were "wow I wish I took that". One comment was that the horizon was not level. To me it was about 2 degrees off. A response was to the effect that it was an artistic choice. Maybe. But to me an artistic choice would have been several degrees off.

My friend Daijah created this photo which is an artistic great choice. Leading lines with purpose.

Thanks Daijah for permission to share your work.
