I looked at the last one: Never show a vessel other than level at a dock, unless she is severely so and that's the story.

In this case, tilting the camera for a horizontal railing would have resulted in very tilted masts. Perhaps this was the best compromise possible. I would have taken that photo either zoomed out or in, or looking a little higher. The flag appears to be the center of interest, but I find the clipped-off hull at the bottom to be distracting. I tried cropping off the bottom, above the top of the people's heads, and liked the results better. Fred

In other words, I disagree with your agreeable statement. -- john mcwilliams

The crane/mast in the background(*) on the right tilts on the other side, so this could just be a matter of perspective. (*)Miguel, when will we get larger pictures? -- Bertrand |
