Excellente ********

Needs more space around it.

Yes it does, in order to have a ~Roy~ crop stuck on it. I'm just saving him the bother.

Exceptional shot!

Why on Earth? Because that's where you both live and are likely to live out your days. On the Moon or Mars you might have no reason to.

The mast cuts the picture in half. This could be avoided with a lot more south and east and a teeny bit north.

I don't see that. The mast is at a sufficient angle not to cut the picture in half, especially as it forms a unit with its diagonal stabilising struts.

I have a made-up word, Faveton, for a picture which has received 100 or more "faves" on Flickr, and this (whether it deserves to be or not) is one. I currently have 284 Favetons. My having 4,005 pictures on Flickr, these however represent only 7 percent of the total.

Without sufficient foreground, my eyes are diverted away from the boat and upwards to the mast, which cuts my vision in half, so that I find it uncomfortable to look at.

It's a bit like sitting on a bus with a post directly in front of me:
something I try to avoid whenever possible.

Even a First Class post, presumably.

As well you didn't marry The King, because he's a royal male.

What are you jibbering on about?
I have no interest in a WEF king who promotes climate alarmism.

1. Plain sailing, I'd have said.
2. If you'd married him, you could (and I'm sure would) have converted him into an isolationist climate-change denier.

Why on earth would I want to convert him into isolationism or climate change demial?
Climate change is real, but the idea that it's caused by excess CO2 is a scam that's being promoted by the WEF to further their evil plan to destroy nations and control us all under one-world technocratic government.

Whether on earth or palace carpets, I don't know why you would think I'd want to convert him to isolationism. I've never expressed any support for that. Or for King Charles.

Do we get any answer to this right royal mystery?

Sorry, but I don't personally know The King or exactly what he stands for.
