The clouds in the photo are actually a really strange cluster than are perpetually hanging around the top of the volcano on the island, this is due to the trade winds that come in. The horizontal break line near the bottom third of the photo is truly level, and the rest of the angles are the natural slope of the volcanic ridge and odd trade wind clouds.
I definitely appreciate the feedback though (I am by no means a terrific photographer, I'm still quite novice and doing quite of bit of experimenting still), and I like the discussion that this has sparked.

Thanks for joining back in.
It's not too unusual for a horizon to be ambiguous, which this one certainly is, even if it may indeed be accurate.
I guess the point is, the photographer should always consider the horizon. Is it clear and, if so, is it level? If not, is the viewer likely to think that I didn't intend it to be level?
When doing my Raw conversion, I turn on grid-lines in my Raw converter and put any obvious horizon next to the grid line for a second, to make sure it's level.
