From someone who has spent a long time at sea in the Merchant Service, this is an excellent photograph.

Hi Mark,
Wow, this is very nice. All of those different shades of blue surrounding the the wide white ship are quite striking. Several have beat me to the punch but I noted the symmetry as well, very effective. The ship also looks sharp, in spite of the haze. Great shot, well done!

I agree about the symmetry and would add that I like the sense you get of all that weight in the water. Good sense of distance too with the slight haze. Nigel

I love the symmetry of this composition, Mark... and the white boat against a totally blue background. Very nice image!

In case anyone is wondering what this ship looks like full size, follow the link:http://www.shipspotting.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=460447&cid=155

As you can tell from my image, she's fully loaded and well down in the water.
