What a great memory of this long trip that brings so many fine memories. The blue colors of this scene and all the blue colors of the sea ahead are great for the contest.

What a great entry for the color blue photo contest! It is very interesting to look at and I really enjoyed your notes.Thank you. I really like the way you framed this. It looks like the day itself cooperated with you as well because the sky is blue (maybe a little over saturated), but it's got clouds which gives its interest. Best of luck in the contest.

A nice clean photograph of the Queen Mary1. To be honest I didn't know there is a one and two. I'm not sure what the scaffolding is for; but the focus and clarity is good. Good luck in the contest

    Very many thanks for your nice review! Reckon the scaffolding was used to do some repair work.

Very cool. The angle of the shot of the.name of the ship is great. The capture of the light is great. The clarity is great. The presentation is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall

A very interesting and unique visual presented here. I like the angle that you use to present the ship and highlight its namesake. Your colours fit the contest. Good luck.

Nik,
A beautiful picture of the Queen Mary Ocean Liner in Long Beach, California I've also spent a night on board. It brought back memories a journey into my past returning from Durban to England in May 1945 after the second World War on the Mauritania. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
Susan

    I am very grateful for your kind review! Yes, did the blue a little too much maybe, but that was because of the title of the competition.

This dramatic shot of Queen Mary I is a visual treat! Your framing draws the eye beautifully, and the play of light and shadows, combined with the rich colours, makes it truly captivating. Well done! Here is my SIX for you. Good luck!

Wow. Just look at that sky. The blue is so vibrant. I love the contrast to the ship. The ship is so large. I like the blue on the boat and how it almost matches the sky. This is a great shot.
