Not 100% sure myself (if they are level or not) but I do like No.2, the reflections are lovely as are the colours in the leaves below the water. I also like the B&W conversion on No.3, works well with the mist.
Not quite as keen on 5 or 6, they just don't grab me like the others.
What camera did you use (sorry can't accress Flickr at work as I.T. block access!). What I did discover the other day was that my D7000 has a vitual horizon you can bring up on the LCD. I'll never have a wonkey horizon again!

I too have struggled with this sort of thing in the past, it is difficult to get a straight horizon when the horizon doesn't follow one plane, as is this case here.
Forget the horizon and correct the verticals instead, I had a quick play with your first two and it does the job nicely.
Hope it helps

Hi
In PS go view / show / grid this puts up the graph like box so you can check if level or not

No worry just checked number 1 its straight for me if you want to move image/ rotate image / arbitrary then pick clockwise or counter clockwise and type in a degree number.
If you do wide shots be a bit wary using vertical say polls on the bridge they may not be straight in real life
Just so you know i am only running CS5 may vary from CS6

The shot was taken at 10mm may be why a slight tilt on the bridge post

Hi hope this helps used the PS transform tool so as to get horizon and bridge pools
The reflection will have the same slight tilt (mirror image). So line up the object with it's reflection. It don't matter what size the lens is.

My favourite is the second shoot. Horizons can be deceptive with shots like these and it seems the more you 'stare' at the photo the harder it is to decide so you end up tweaking it several times.This last image, tweaked by Allan, does seem better on the eye.
