It does work very nicely as a large post. Every detail of the mechanical structures really stand out. I also like the smaller version of it for how the perspective plays and the ships seems to extend so far to the bow. The only detail that bothers me a bit is how the tip of the boat is cut off at the front. But you really captured nicely how these things are loaded and all the huge devices that are used.

Also there is a repost option so you can upload the same photo again and not have it appear twice.

I happen to have a photo posted of a cousin ship to this one, the Federal Welland, taken as it passed Detroit late last year.

Cher Robert,
Avec le téléobjectif, nous avons l'impression de voir une usine flottante (l'arrière-plan se confond avec le bateau).
Félicitations pour ce panoramique qui rend compte de l'importance du navire.
Très bonne maîtrise technique.
Amitiés.
Philippe
