Were both pictures taken from the same vantage point?
I should think clearly not. The first photograph was taken from a high angle, looking down on the sea, so the horizon is towards the top of the picture. The second photograph seems to be taken from a significantly lower angle. Of course, level of horizon is controlled by camera angle, but if you tilt the camera from a low angle, you get a lot of foreground.
I couldn't begin to work out the aircraft height in these two photographs, but they're certainly not directly comparable.
