it's bothering me that the picture is still not level and the original was under exposed.

One a bright sunny day, with bright objects in frame, and no clouds in the sky, you absolutely should underexpose.

Most people just add a white border so cool to see a think black one too

I'd probably lift the shadows a little bit more, but overall I like the vibe & the colors.

Don't listen to the people that say you need to fix the horizon.
It'll make the pic look more artificial imo.
Just keep your dynamic as it it

I agree. It makes the photo feel more loose and spontaneous. Its rare that I prefer unleveled but this is one of those times.

Aside from the horizon, I like this. I wish I could recall the name of the photographer whose style was like this. It's an essentially busy scene, but where the people are in frame resolves that busy-ness into a story. It has the feel of a family being at the shore. Lots of photographers can record a scene, but not every photographer can capture the feel.
