The saucer does look bent down, from more than one angle.
Look how wide deck one is here, those could easily be corridors around the outside of the main bridge
I dunno, could be, could be. Now I REALLY want to see the internal bridge set of the Discoprise.
The saucer rim is also far from an even circle in the bow view. I guess it all boils down to it being very difficult to photograph something that small up close: the image is distorted by the optics involved, by a compositing process, and/or by attempts at correcting the macroscopic "bending" inherent in the optics by introducing smaller "bends" that show up rather blatantly on the straight lines and circles.

Excellent news on what looks like the window for two reasons: 1) it brings the Enterprise more in line with the DSC continuity and 2) hopefully more people will like Star Trek now because they’ll be able to understand it better.
Gentleman, the next evolution of Starship design... two windows.
It DEFINITELY looks like Bridge window behind some semi-transparent material. Transparent trilithium alloy perhaps?
I'm really liking the new design.
It must have been just got uploaded there, it would have been spotted by now if it was there.
I want to like the Discoprise, I really want to. But... it's just doesn't work. It's like that scene in Mad Men:
Compare that to original:
"It's not Ann-Margret"
I get that, the original will always be special because it was the first and for us who grew up with it it has nostalgia attached as well.
Yeah, but the original just flat looks better to my eye. It looks like something a futuristic society might build. Eaves takes the basic shape and tries to turn it into a Star Wars ship. How much of the product that is his responsibility is anyone's guess? But the Discovery version has a lot of similar features to other stuff he's done.
Maybe when I'm an old man and my vision is completely gone, I'll be able to enjoy the look of Discovery.
Speaking of Star Wars ships, I still hate the Discovery, and the Mcqaurrie design it's based on
I think a big reason I'm a fan of the Discoprise is because of how much I dislike the Kelvinverse E and think that this model is a much better updated version compares to it. I feel it maintains a lot more elements of the original E while updating it.
Although I don't get the nacelle holes.
I like the Abramsverse version far more than what we have with Discovery. The Abramsverse version retains the optimistic look of the future. Lighter colors for the ships, better lighting.
It is a shame that overall Discovery has really missed the point of Star Trek's look. An optimistic view of the future that actually looks optimistic. They have fallen in the trap of things looking dark and gritty, and it simply doesn't match up with the rest of the franchise.
Windows for the elusive bathrooms.
What do you think of the TMP/TWOK ship lighting then? Because, to me, Disco is reminiscent of it, with ships being in the Darkness of space and lit by exterior lights vs. the glowing ship in space of the other series/movies.
I'm not a fan of the refit, at all.
I just realized what the Discoprise reminds me of. The old Franklin Mint pewter Enterprises, with their 24k deflector dishes:
It's like I'm watching season 2!
Thanks to the passage of time, some of them even have modernized nacelles:
Would look perfectly at home next to Discovery.

Fair enough.
I’m not seeing that at all.
The ship is far too flat and lacks greeble.
It looks nothing like a Star Wars ship.
