1st place - The Cutty Sark 1 - Yaelle

A British tea clipper built in 1869 and now on display at Greenwich in London. She used to bring tea from China and (later) merino wool from Australia. Cutty Sark whisky derives its name from the ship. An image of the clipper appears on the label, and the maker formerly sponsored the Cutty Sark Tall Ships' Race.

What a great shot you have here its been over 45 years since I was last at the Cutty Sark and this looks so novel and interesting with all the glass and being able to walk under the ship.

Awww, I didn't even notice the wide angle there. Brad let me use his 9-18mm when we went to Montana (and basically the entire summer) and I really enjoyed that lens too. I'm really impressed with the Panasonic lenses and really thinking of getting a micro camera. I just can't afford it and my E-5, I don't think I can part with that yet. Uggg!

I would wish to visit this vessel, as I do love tall sail ships...
I like very much how you presented it in this photo, it looks like a futuristic spacial ship more than a 19th century ship.

Shirley, it's funny isn't it but I find these pictures at 7mm so easy it's almost point and shoot as long as you keep everything level and get real close. I credit the lens more than the photographer. You asked about it, it's the Panasononic 7-14 (m43) and I've only had it for 2 or 3 months so I'm still learning how to deal with some of the distortion, as you can see. I use it mostly at 7mm and love it.

Well, taking credit for this fantastic shot, should never slip your mind! How can you not be tickled to death with this one. It's surreal in many ways. Looking at the bow (hope I called it correctly, I'm a land locked person, not up to par with my ship lingo) then through the maze of beams and glass to see the rest of the ship baring down on you, just really blows me away. Also the people in the shot, they look so very tiny!
