What is it with these Wales meets & crappy weather?

Definitley Oxwich for me. Its a nice shot, and captures the mood of the place. I know it well, my daughter got married there.
Why is it that everyone is obsessed with trying to straighten the horizon on the sea. Don't they realize that the Earth isn't flat and on a wild angle seascape you will always see the curvature of the Earth. Those who think its flat, just try sitting on the beach and observing.:nono:
Straightening seas - I totally agree - a wide shot will always capture the natural curvature of the earth
Same with buildings, why make them upright
Well, a curve on both side need to be at the same height to be 'level' as a horizon even though it bulges in the middle
I've sat on many a beach for many a long time, and the dip on the left is always the same height as the dip on the right unless the Ouzo has bitten too strongly
Why make a horizon level? Cos it's natural that way - that's why

The former is only tru if you know the bay - to all others, it's not straight !!!
Welsh buildings are not vertical as they dug for coal under many of them a bit - in our area, everything is on pit-props, so when we drop we drop evenly !!!
Hereabouts, a 'right-angle' means "WOW - that's a right angle all right!!!" meaning anything +/- 20 degrees to the vertical

DiddyDave thanks for the edited photos.
With the 1st, I'm going to have to agree with HWG as there is a natural curve to Oxwich bay. Easy mistake to with the horizon on that one.
With the 2nd photo, I to prefer my edit, I just feel that there is a little more interest in the foreground.
Your comments are much appreciated. I did find the light a little challenging as its the first time I've tried to take vistas in those lighting conditions.
HWG, I take it the wedding was at the hotel? It's a cracking shot place to get married, especially if you are lucky to get a nice sunny day. Although I could think of worse places even if it was raining.
Thanks everyone for their comments
