Søren, I'm really happy you like this one, thanks for your nice words.

You are right, it's really an experience to see such a giant on this relatively small river (compared to the Elbe where I come from). It was a first time for me and now I've tasted blood.:-) Hope to see the next ship leaving Meyer shipyard, too!

Cheers,
Jens

I totally agree with all of You - this is a marvellous shot!
- And tvtech: I think You are spot on ;-)

Jens (+ Jochen and Jörn) I really envy You for having the opportunity to make such wonderful shots at this perfect location! It's quite a sight on a photo, but I can imagine it is even more impressive being there :-)

Thanks for sharing!

Best regards,
Søren

Tarbatness, thank you for your compliment!

Great shot.

Bendt, thanks a lot for your nice words.

Cheers, Jens

I'm really selfish...

Actually the photo should be credited to Jochen Wegener and Jörn Prestien, too.
Without them this photo wouldn't exist. (Hm, sounds like an Oscar winner's address, doesn't it?):-)
Jochen provided me with the data, where an when , and Jörn was so kind to show us the right places on location. I was just one of many guys (and girls) with a camera hitting the shutter...

Now, today we have a lot of magnificent photos of Norwegian Breakaway's trip yesterday online, not just mine... Have a look!

Last but not least, tvtech - thank you for your compelling comment!
And once more a big thanks to all of you who commented on my photo.

Cheers, Jens

Hello Jens, it was a bit of a giant, very impressive and colorful picture :-)

Best Regards
Bendt

Hi Guys

This photo is so brilliant in so many ways. I will name only two now though:

1. New Ship. Perfect shooting conditions. Magic.
2. Grand overview of how big this ship really is..I mean look at the people on the beach in the foreground compared with how huge this ship is behind them....

Brilliant photo that brings perspective to everything.

Best regards,
tvtech

What a big word! Thank you very, very much, Ron!:-)

Great shot Jens.........A masterpiece

Cornelia - Marc - Theo - Jeff: Thanks to all of you for your nice comments, they're much appreciated!:-)

Wishing you all the best,
Jens

Excellent photo Jens.

Moin Jens
good shot,, seems the trip was successfull

Jens, you made it finally !!! I hope you had alot of fun, taking photos of this giant vessels (and I bet you did take photos as well of less gigantic vessels too) :-)

Great! Such a "mass of ship" and only just a little water in the picture….

Jochen, thank you very much! Ah, that's a pity you couldn't be there. But as you say, it won't be long until her sister will leave Papenburg.

And thanks again for keeping me up-to-date, otherwise I would have missed this opportunity, too!

All the best from Hamburg, Jens

Very nice, Jens, wish I would have been there, but it was impossible cause of my dogs: they must stay at home. Next time, in a year or so.
Jochen

Jörn, thanks a lot!:-) Wasn't it a lovely day? Cold, but otherwise I enjoyed it very much. A nice escape from all that snow at Hamburg. I'm waiting for your photos!:-)
All the best from Hamburg, Jens

Excellent shot under a splendid sky, Jens.
Thanks for sharing
