[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The twilight started after the sun disappeared below the horizon. Photo taken about thirty minutes after the image posted yesterday of the MV Federal Sakura , the British Ro/Ro Hurst Point is now leaving section B-3 . Note the MV Federal Sakura bow is visible in the background. The tug Ocean Bravo was also there to assist her on departure.
As you can appreciate the vessel is built like a big ferry boat , Ro/Ro standing for Roll-on and Roll-off, as trucks , vehicles can be loaded via the stern ramp. However for this call, it was not necessary. We only off-loaded her deck cargo with ship's crane.

Sorry I am on duty again, therefore restricted time on line. I will come back as soon as time allows me.

"What a big bum" ;o).
Nice Pov here, Robert. The light on her right flank is great, on her back it's a little dim. I think some selective brightening there would work great, as it really is a big part of the photo.
Anyway, TFS

Hi Robert..fine sharp details and great light in this shot...nice work.
