Hello everybody,
after having raised the discussion by posting the QUEEN ELIZABETH at Ocean Terminal in Southampton, I like to contribute with some thoughts.
The photo might fail the standards for posting ships due to the missing aft body (although others have been accepted such as
http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=400811), but selecting the habour category was certainly not the reason for that. Regarding the definitions for the category, I would support the change to 'Harbour View Images'.
Overview photos of harbours are certainly within the scope. If it comes to more detailed photos like the present one, I think the 'interaction between ships and port' should be the focus, i.e. ships still play a major part. If shipspotting.com reflects the life of ships, not only the times at sea or restricted waters, but also in ports are important. This should guide the selection of photos.
