An update from DA would be appreciated. Is this fine photo still being considered for deletion?

It would be insanity to delete this photograph!!!!! Firstly the hull is not blurred, it is sea mist. Secondly, it is just a superb photograph. The sea mist is part of the natural environment of the vessel. Are only perfect shots in perfect conditions to be allowed. There is applying the rules, and using common sense.

Please do not delete, it is not everyday that we in certain parts of the world witness these conditions, -20c ,sea mist, freezing waters.
This not a blurred photo but a vessel(and crew) experiencing extreme weather.
Thanks for sharing

The hull is NOT blurred. It is shrouded in mist. To delete this would be shameful. It is a superb image.

To delete this photo but be an insult to those who brave these icy conditions :) A fine photo worthy of shipspotting.com

Very good photo. Sea smoke for you and pouring rain for me on the "wet" coast :-)

Please, dont be sorry, Jacques : it is a nice artistic photo.

I'am sorry i can't do anything with the sea smoke.It's a part of our Canadian winter.:)
