As opposed to the "pros" who measure the Earth orbit's excentricity by the fractions of millimetre horizons are off. Good thing they are the minority...

If severely tilted horizons are your thing, then good on ya.

No kidding. I thought it creative to attempt to turn defect into style with the subject, but it didn't work on me -- wrong sort of image for that kind of style. -- Best regards, John Buying a dSLR doesn't make you a photographer, it makes you a dSLR owner.

The angles of the white-caps and the sails implies a lot of speed and motion. Here's a more tranquil one from a super-zoom P&S with tele-converter, one of the discards from the set. The usable image has the bow pointing to the sun, instead of the stern as in this shot. A boat exiting the frame doesn't work. Though, one I have zoomed in even closer with the sails silhouetted on the disc of the sun is quite nice too. It's difficult to ruin basic stock-photography subjects like this. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4134/4755092175_e79466f79c_b.jpg |
