Elsid, the last one is indeed really nice.  Love the color and the moment you captured.

Thanks Jakov.
I used a Panasonic LX-3 with an aquapac waterproof case. I spend a lot of time in the ocean with the camera (particularly at the end of the day) exploring the different perspectives enabled by the waterproof case.

That ship looks a bit Russian to me Anthony?

Great shot super!

Thanks, Mike, the ship is indeed Russian.

The location is the Grand Harbour of Valletta, which you presumably visited in your naval career.
