Cool angle, but compression brutally killed this one, and I'm not too sure about the bright lights on the carrier.  ;)

Rated Five only, for the following reasons:
- the angle of view is cool
- the cropping adds a nice touch (although I still consider this an edit and personnally refuse to use it)
- the compression is too high, the colors and edges are damaged
- the water doesn't look good at all
- here seem to be some jaggies

In order to increase the quality of this shot, I think you have three options:
- increase the AA and AF on your video card driver settings
- install the new water textures that make the 2x waves look smaller, and then tweak the water color/reflection with FSWC
- use another tool for resizing and saving your screenshots in JPG format (PAINT.NET works nicely)
