Even so, it should have been slightly darker at the top, just for
aesthetic reasons.

Fog isn't pure white with no detail. It's light gray.

The pier. who cares if they were vertical in real life? I assure you
they were when they were built. :). The whole right top quarter of the
photo could have been a smidgeon darker. P.S., if you are truly striving
for reality, when was the last time you saw a scene in nature surrounded
by a black border? :D

I'm 6'6", so no, but I have been told it is so.
