Thanks will pass onto Trevor, and yes the angle, light, etc perfect.

All of these pictures of the former Royal Mail Lines Three Graces are superb but this one is, for me, the very best of them all. Beautiful light and the perfect angle of a very handsome liner.

Great shot Chris, my compliments to Trevor, the Christmas Tree on the foremast was a common sight on the River Thames in the 1950s/60s Christmas period, I am not sure when it ceased but is no longer a common sight.
Regards
Ken
