[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
HMS VICTORY is the oldest commissioned warship in the world, and is still manned by Officers and Ratings of the Royal Navy. She is now the flagship of the Second Sea Lord and Commander in Chief Naval Home Command and lies in No 2 Dry Dock at Portsmouth Naval Base, Portsmouth. England.
Victory was designed by Thomas Slade, the Senior Surveyor of the Navy. Her keel was laid down in Chatham on 23 July 1759 and she was launched on 7 May 1765 but was not commissioned until 1778. This long period of weathering meant that the hull timbers were well seasoned, which is probably the main reason why she has survived so long. Once commissioned she became the most successful First Rate ship ever built. Her excellent sailing qualities made her a very popular choice for use by Admirals as their flagship. Admirals Keppel, Kemperfelt, Howe and Jervis all used her prior to Admiral Lord Nelson when he was Commander in Chief of the Mediterranean Fleet. Even after the Battle of Trafalgar she continued her active career and was involved in two Baltic campaigns under Admiral Saumarez.

Very interesting. Never seen so many lines in a composition. Ever.
One question: what is the size of the model ?

Hi Michael,
Beautiful shot of the rigging of this ship the tangeling ropes are always stunning and you captured this very well. The nice colours of the shield improves the view even more. Job well done and TFS!

I recognized the clarify tool in the thumb; looked like a comic strip.
Great example to show that using no space can also work; but perhaps the space is here the seeming chaos of ropes.
Huub

very interesting lines. good selection of colors. great picture

Terrific detail Michael which has been highlighted even more by the use of the clarify tool. Interesting notes, well composed and very well presented. TFS,
David
Many thanks for your comment on
The Climb - The Summit

Hi Michael,

Great comp!!! I like this rope madness!!! :)) You can't realise how many ropes there are in a ship unless you see it from this perspective! Fantastic colours and sharpness with the clarify effect you used!
Very well done!
