Yes, I am probably pushing the boundaries of an acceptable landscape in this forum; however, this is a man made object in a natural world.
When I shot this image - 3 vertical images stitched in PS - I was actually thinking "landscape" in the broad sense. As soon as I saw we were finally going to have a great sunset and that the lines in the sky would work with my image thoughts, I rushed to the bow and positioned myself to have the hatch as my foreground element, the anchor chains as my leading lines to the midground superstructure, and the amazing sunset as the background. Would you believe that 26 nights at sea only resulted in one amazing sunset!
I have posted this here so that it would be critiqued; of course I might have posted it in the travel section but then it wouldn't be a learning experience for me; I might also have posted it in the ETL section.
