Tanker coming into Tampa for a load of Phospate Fertalizer.

I took this image with a 14mm lens, from the "Hooptie Deux"

Ya right, 300mm is more like it.

Yikes! The fear of all sailors - especially those of us that cross oceans in tea cups with sails and little motors.

My only suggestion is that the image needs leveling.

Jay,
If I level the water, the boat looks off even more. If I level the numbers, the water looks off even more.
The boat was starting a turn into the dock.

Not a good time for the engine to hiccup! Great image of a not-so-often seen perspective.
