[Bill Burk]

When framing with a rangefinder, perhaps you see something below the brightline finders you wish to exclude, in preference to excluding part of the image at the top.

One thing to keep in mind, if you have parallax-correcting brightlines.

The subject at infinity does not move with parallax.

To critically analyze composition that includes a mix of near and far with a rangefinder... For the far subject matter you have to consider where the brightlines were when you are focused at infinity.

I think you thought you had it out of the frame when you shot.
