  •  Comment I uploaded a non-tilted version to a new name; if the non-tilted version is accepted feel free to upload over the original. I just didn't want to do this now as the original is up for FP and it should be available for comparison. -- Editor at Large • talk 16:32, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

•  Support - amazing symmetry, great composition with the skyline at top 3rd, middle ship at centre, and front ship at bottom 3rd; colours are decent (if very blue) and waves/lines in the water add to the effect. Overall very nice. -- Editor at Large • talk 16:32, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

•  Oppose - horizon still curved, not straight, and also the tilt is over-corrected, it is sloping nearly as much the other way. - MPF 22:11, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
  •  Comment check the image on its own instead of next to the tilted version; if you draw a straight line across the image you'll see that the two sides meet at exactly the same point. I used a guideline laid across the two edges where the horizon meets the sides of the image when rotating it, so unless the software borked it should be straight to within 3 pixels. Regarding the curve, that is to be expected when it is a picture of the ocean at that height/angle; the earth is curved, and an image of the ocean with nothing on the horizon to hide the curve/bring it closer is going to show that. I think the seeming tilt is an optical illusion due to the concentration of clouds on the right compared to the left. -- Editor at Large • talk 23:34, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
    •  Comment yes, the earth's horizon is curved, but with a radius of 6,370km . . . to all practical purposes, that's straight, unless you're viewing from a point several tens of km above the earth's surface (i.e., up out of the atmosphere). The curvature here is caused by the camera lens. And I did draw a straight line across the pic (or, to be exact, scrolled down the pic so the horizon lined up with the top of the computer screen), and the right-hand side is a mm or two lower than the left hand side. The rotation done was 1°CW from the original; about 0.8° would have been more accurate. - MPF 20:56, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
      •  Comment refresh your cache, second version was edited again. First rotation was 1°, second was only 0.75° as you said :) -- Editor at Large • talk 22:36, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
•  Support Horizon is round-shaped, not tilted. --Atoma 08:00, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
