A magnificent ship to be sure. She looks royal and is aptly named.

The five masts are very impressive giving the ship a grand and bold look.

The blue water accents the white of the ship and also picks up the blue stripe.

Nice work Fred ~ Steve

Comment from UMANO Graphics
This looks just like an artwork on a screen. It's perfect and well deserving of a 6. But I'm out at the moment.

I love the spacing in front, which has created a point of reflection for this piece as we see it against the background.

You've also clearly aligned the work, a neat ocean line that's so balanced that again it looks like the ship was just placed on a line.

I had to zoom in and I was pleased with your sharp focus and such a detailed shot.

Well done, and keep it coming.

Excellent view of this clipper ship but what I find outstanding is the incredible lighting of it.
It's as if it is begin illuminated
From up above. Perfect colors in the sky and sea.
Beautiful image Fred!

Comment from Lorafina
Crisp, clear photograph of a stricking subject. I thought it might be a painting at first. The water is so still. I like the placement of the subject on the page and the overall subdued colors. This is a real winner!

Comment from shoregrass
Wow, this is quite a craft. I love the way you composed this. Nicely off center with just sky and water as backdrop to let the pristine beauty of the vessel shine through. Superb clarity and detail top off an excellent shot. Great notes too.

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan
This is a wonderful shot of the cruise ship/ It appears to pop up against the grey sky and deep blue water.You have framed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!
