Grand Princess 4 Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Passenger ship: Grand Princess.

This was a series of 4 photos of this ship on visit to the Port of:- Greenock on the River Clyde, S.W.of Scotland.
Here she is seen leaving the River to continue her voyage around Europe.
The ship is distant, I thought the scene was quite nice.
Hope you do to.
I will also do a workshop of the esplanade, it shows a nice bench to sit on.
I preferred that one even although more of the pavement. I would like some comment on this.

Info. on the ship taken from a websight.
Built in Italy
108,806 tonnes
Cruising speed 22.5 knots
Passenger capacity 2,500

Hi Robert

More one beautiful picture. We have a beautiful river (Parnaiba) one of the most important in Northeast, but it is almost dying. In the past great boats sailed in this river making trade among the cities, and now just small boats and canoes do this.The man along the time is destroying our beautiful river.
Regards
Maria

Hello Robert,
Think I prefer the photo you have the main posting though I can understand why you like the uncropped one. The problem for me is that it is rather dark along the esplanade compared to the rest of the image. Perhaps if you could lighten up and bring out some more detail. I like the light and composition in the main shot with the ship sailing majestically down the river.

Hello Robert,

I was looking at your gallery and I found it very beautiful.
Also these last picture, you use excellent the closing as perspective line about the totally picture.
The passenger ship suit perfect in this image
Composition and presentation are very well, TFS.

Have a nice Easter Weekend,
John.

A lovely peaceful view, Robert. Beautiful light on the clouds comes over well.
I did a workshop to see if the esplanade could be more important in the picture- I hope you find it interesting if not as lovely as the ones you made.
Best wishes,
Winifred
