Here’s me trying the same for the uncropped version

Ok I'm even more confused now. That looks like it lines up pretty well, considering how the dirt & grass mess with things. I understand that you have an uncropped version now that you didn't have originally. Not sure where that came from because until now I've only ever seen the cropped version. But now I understand you do seem to know what you're doing, which makes me even more confused why your original version had those straight horizontal lines. What were those meant to be? Why didn't you have the lines following the direction of the path in that version like you did here?
