The story behind this image

Going on a cruise is a great way to see many different locations without having to put too much effort in to travelling around - the ship does that for you!

But as well as having exotic locations to photograph, the ship itself contains a wealth of interesting detail to point one's camera at.

I spotted this eye catching arrangement of white table and graphic shadows on a blue background from an upper deck, and it was the work of just a few moments to compose and capture this abstract image.
