Well the day FINALLY Came! I drove up to where my Husband "parked" his ship for the winter and brought him home! This is a photo of him waiting for me to get there, you can see him waving up there on one of the decks. This ship is the MV ALGOLAKE, she is 730' feet long and is 75' feet wide to me shes the other woman!! :o) You can see the Prop there because the ship has been drained of her ballast tanks and riding high for the winter , compare the size of my husband to what you can see of the blades!

Hi Donna,
A very special picture of this ship, empty ballast tabks causing the ship high at the water showing the huge blades of the propellor. Interesting my dear and indeed your waving husband looks so tiny. Excellent capture of this vesel.

Hi Donna

This image made me smile, after I saw your "other half" waving. Even though he only takes up a very small part of the image, he dominates the composition. But I wouldn't have noticed, without a reference in your note. Tfs!

Hi Donna,

Excellent capture, good read on the note. Excellent work.

Cheers

What a great shot Donna, and lovely keepsake as well. Super detail. Great composition and presentation. I feel I can wave back at your Hubby, so feels like I am there. Excellent work.
