Yes, the horizon is skew. You have mentioned that already. It has been mentioned a few times. I knew that when I posted the picture.
Im not some random guy that picked up a camera in an alleyway one day and started taking photographs! I have been involved in photography for quite some time and I know what it takes to take good pictures. I may not have a Canon 1D with all the L-series lenses, but I do take my photography seriously.
Yes JT, is is extremely sad that the majority of voters liked my photo more than yours, but I didnt start criticising your photographs when I was the losing one in the previous voting threads.
So yes, my horizon is skew. You may not like it and a whole bunch of other voters might not like it either, but to me and the majority of voters out there, it works just fine.
The beauty is in the eye of the beholder. No photograph is really "bad", there are just some other photographs that people like better. I dont consider myself to be a good photographer, I consider myself to be a enthusiastic photographer like the rest. Every photographer must enjoy photography, regardless of what other people think. I have entered this photograph so I can participate in photogrpahy, not to be proven better than the rest.
So thanks to evryone that voted for my picture. I will try to keep all my future entries as original as possible.
