    Thanks guys. Martin, i was on the rocks at the very edge of the
    loading ramp. I was waiting there for about 1/2 hour while the
    liner made its way up the bay. I have about 30 shots as it edged
    closer (I am impatient!!). This is the best.

    G’day Mark,

    Very cleverly composed and nicely photographed and processed making full use of that wonderful light.
    A unique and very interesting point of view, good depth of field and a sharp focus.
    The colours are rich and warm and the contrast most striking.
    Good work that man!
