Gee thanks Tony. As usual the camera was set to Auto P. For Picasa I finished with I Feel Lucky after cropping, straightening sharpening and fiddling with a couple of the tools.

Considering conditions and distance your Nikon lens again produced a very sharp result! Suspect skill of the photographer also helped.

Strong cross wind on a 300m long lens, and my ferry motion, forced the Nikon to work hard and well. Picasa helped too.

Thanks Tony. I have heard other old salts say the same.

Nice photo on a sunny windy day. Ex Navy guys at the museum rate this class of frigate as one of the best we have had in the RAN.
