To crop or not to crop?

[Scarecrow]

took this looking over the starboard rail of my ship on cruise. just curious if there is too much in here or not. Before someone does ask yes the horizon is not a straight line when you are on the ocean.

ISO 200 70mm f/8 1/5 sec

Before someone does ask yes the horizon is not a straight line when you are on the ocean.

This is not so much asking, but observing. Vertical lines remain vertical unless the object is really tall like a skyscraper. Yes, the horizon is curved, but it is more noticeable in a wide shot and would not be higher on one side.

hmm might be due to rolls of the sea?.?.?.?

Vertical remains vertical as a direction and so does the horizontal (horizon) weather the observer remains so or not

 

[Bitter Jeweler]

Yeah, the verticals are at right angles to the horizon,

 

[Scarecrow]

ok so to crop or recut...is it possible to cut it straight?

 

[Bitter Jeweler]

Yes You Can!

What I was meaning was the bottom rail that comes out and cuts a 90 going back up should I have left it or not?

For those whom are uniformed, and don't know starboard from port:

Just remember left has 4 letters as does port, ergo port = left, starboard = right, fore = front, and aft = back.

I will let those of you that aren't sailors discover on your own what "luffing" means.
