That and focus, plague me. In Adobe Lightroom, I made an angle adjustment crop.

I love this about photography, Phil. The art side. It drives me crazy when I see an out of level horizon, but sometimes, an un level horizon, works. In this case, I'm not sure, you be the judges,...

And as you know, leveling the horizon comes at a cost of image size. In tilting the image toward level, I was losing the the aft port(my ports aren't level). I thought that aft port gave more context to the overall shot so I quit there(leveling in Lightroom). Plus the extra dimension of the ports and cabin, puts me inside an old boat, looking out.

Here's that shot adjusting the angle to a level horizon. You can see I've lost quite a bit of image(it was so far out due to leveling the - out of level - port instead of the horizon). But, it may be the better shot. What do people eyes say?
