Hi Richard Rodts,
Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities!
We understand that you've enabled iCloud Photos on your MacBook Pro and they aren't uploading completely.
The time it takes to upload your photos to iCloud depends on the speed of your network connection. This is a great resource which will help you to determine if there is an issue with uploading the photos or if it's just taking additional time to upload the photos: If your iCloud Photos aren't syncing to your device - Apple Support
"If your photos still aren't syncing to iCloud
Learn what to do if you don't see a status message at the bottom of the Photos app that explains why your photos aren't syncing, or syncing is taking a long time. If you see a Couldn’t Sync [number of items] to iCloud status message, learn how to move these photos to your library.
Connect your device to power
If your device seems to be stuck on a status message that says Syncing [number of items] to iCloud or Syncing with iCloud…, connect your iPhone or iPad to power and to Wi-Fi.
Check your Apple ID
Make sure that you signed in to iCloud with the correct Apple ID on your device.

Check which Library view you're in
If you set up iCloud Shared Photo Library in iOS 16.1 or later, iPadOS 16.1 or later, or macOS Ventura or later, check which Library view you're in. When you move photos to your Shared Library, you no longer see them in your Personal Library. You also won't see photos moved to your Shared Library if you're on a device with an earlier version of iOS, iPadOS, or macOS or if the iCloud Shared Photo Library owner has run out of iCloud storage.

We hope this helps you.
Cheers!
