It is difficult in Sydney Harbour to avoid scenery appearing in pics of ocean going size vessels. So I try and use it in the composition. Thank you David for your analysis and comment

A really nice composition (as always) Clyde! In my opinion, the blue and grey domintaed color sheme gives a nice variety to the shots embedded in golden sunlight. It contrasts well with the ship's deck color.

Best regards from muggy Hamburg,
David

Thank you for your concern and comment Jadran. I can cope with 2mm of rain before breakfast and a top temperature for the day of 18C. Some other days have been worse

You're having rather bad weather again at Sydney, take care of yourself Clyde (be careful not to get wet !! )

Nevertheless, an excellent shot in those circumstances ... Like !
Best regards from the blue Adriatic,
