Well becky I admit it came out good and it is one of my favourite ,but sincerely not shot of the year.
I think there are lots of other photos from other photographers that deserve that worthwhile title.
But thank you for your positive comment.

Shot of the year Emmanuel

The ATALI though built just 10 years ago has the classic lines of a much earlier built vessel, it will not look out of place in a 1940s or 1950s setting.
She is simply beautiful , it is only the radar dome that gives her away.
Thanks rd77 for the info.

Looks vintage but isn't! Built in 2009 in Italy. Looks to me like a hommage to the famous Riva Caravelle series.
