Here's a photograph from the deck of a cruise ship, while cruising the
Mexican Riviera in early December. I was teaching a photography
workshop on this trip, and I took this shot in between classes. The
idea in my mind was to create a romantic, moonlight evening view of
the ocean, as one would see from the elevated deck of a cruise ship.

With info on how I took this photo...

Nice image, but what makes it different from /better than a great many
similar images?

from the article:

"The final touch was to give the image a slight pinch-cushion
distortion to increase the curvature of the ocean horizon."

No it's not.
I wish people would please, please stop using "begging the question"
since it is used incorrectly nearly almost 100% of the time.
