If the horizon is not correct and it is in the background it is only distracting if it is too obvious.

Not saying this is a bad photograph but honestly...the only thing I focused on was imagining the boat in the background sliding off the picture at the other end. tongue

When I want reality, I look at the world around me.  When I want something other than reality, I look at (or sometimes make) photographs.

If you read this entire thread, you would see me state, "I'm not one for suggesting we never break rules."  And if you knew anything about me, you know I don't always play safe!  smile

I wrote that before I read what you said. smile  I get your point.  That's one of the reasons why I have grid lines turned ON on my camera.  Amazing how when you line them up you get these nice level shots. big_smile  And, when I do mess up (yeah, it happens) and if I do find it distracting (I often do) I'll correct them with the level tool in Nikon Capture.  Works great!!  And if you have Nikon Capture NX, it'll even crop it for you!

yes and no, the solution for the trick involves the way we perceive the triangle, and are tricked into thinking at it's the same in both images

Don't worry, it isnt.  It is flat.  The reason some people think the horizon is curved is because their eyes are curved.  It is obvyus.

What about having the horizon plumb instead of level?

how about playing it safe by framing every photo in my portfolio tightly around the model's head, thus completely eliminating horizons from the equation ?
