: That's what I thought too.

: The only difference was in one picture I was in salt water and
: in the other picture I was in fresh water.

I don't know if the pictures were taken 'bow-on' or from the side, but...
A very slight 'lean' - a very few degrees - would make that visible difference as well.
I often find that I am unconsciously 'edging' a bit in my boat.
You may well be more 'rock solid' in your boat than I am, though.
