The ships is perhaps a bit too dark on its front, Ahmed, but it would overexpose the rest, if it wouldn't be this way. A very impressing game of light and shadow on the different parts of the ship, and in many ways it does look a bit "out of this world". Perhaps some perpective from almost right under the front form the left or the right and some wider angle could let it also look stronger or even huge!
Best wishes,
Nick

That ain't half bad for a guy worth 21 billion bucks, especially when the guy was a poor orphan as a child. Rags to riches, involving oil of course.
Here's some info I found on that row boat. And he's having an even bigger one built:
Pelorus is the world's eleventh largest private yacht at 377 feet 3 inches (115 metres) in length, with a price tag of $130 million. She was built at the Lürssen yard in Germany to the design of Tim Heywood and was launched in 2003.
She was briefly owned by a Saudi businessman who sold her to Jewish Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich the following year. Abramovich had her refitted to his own requirements by Blohm & Voss. This included the addition of a second helicopter pad forward, four new zero-speed stabilisers and modifications to the exhaust, mast and stern. Abramovich also owns Ecstasea, and gave away Le Grand Bleu to friend Eugene Shvidler.
Pelorus is powered by two 3,600-hp Wärtsilä engines. Details about the interiors are scant as Abramovich is protective of his family's privacy and highly security conscious, but they were designed by Terence Disdale. Security features include a submarine for detecting limpet mines and a missile-detection system.[1]
In 2005 Abramovich lent Pelorus to Frank Lampard and John Terry for two weeks as a bonus for being the two best players at his English football club Chelsea F.C. the previous season. After John Terry married his fiancee at Blenheim Palace on 15 June 2007, they had a two week honeymoon on Pelorus in the Mediterranean.
