Bonjour John
Une très belle photo printanière colorée à souhait. Beaucoup de profondeur, le regard est attiré vers l'horizon.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Hello Daniel,
This is a fine photo of an attractive scenery with the Gaelic crosses very nicely placed on top of the hill. It has a strong Irish atmosphere. I made a workshop to see if I could get anything out of that grey sky. I hope you won't mind.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Andrew,
This is a nce one too. Another proof of the beauty of simplicity. Certainly the clear sky and bright light help a lot.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Mesut,
A very cute and spontaneous photo. She has to start early with these distractions, because soon the little boy will be so absorbed by his iPod that possibly not even an earthquake could stop him from using it at any time.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Leslie,
This is a delightful composition, not least because you found this old gentleman and the very old looking bench for the foreground. They complement the old manor house perfectly and give the picture fine balance. There are many fine tones of green, with some yellow thrown in as a bonus.
A superb photo.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Bev,
This is indeed an impressive work (and that includes your photo). The depth you have achived from this position is admirable and the light is beautiful. I like the ws too, especially the four tiny figures seen on the bridge, but surely this is the best photo. Looking at old, gigantic and complicated structures like this, not to mention Gothic cathedrals, pyramids, Greek temples etc, I am overwhelmed by what people could do so long ago, before there were computers to figure everything out.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Romano,
This is a stunning composition. The classic view of Rome gets tough competiton for attention from the seagull, which is very beautifully capured from a fine POV. The colours are also great. Mybe there is a bit too much empty foreground because of the wide parapet, but it was impossible for you to do anything about that, unfortunately.
KInd regards,
Gert

Hello Ourania,
This is a well chosen title, because this little chapel is really very simple, but still very beautiful. Its simple lines and bright white and red make it a stunning appearance. I am fascinated by the idea to paint the threshold light blue. It doesn't really fit there, but increases the charm of this rustic building. You have documented it well with excellently managed light.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Malgorzata,
For just pushing a button this is not bad. You had a good assistant, especially if she was in any way responsible for those marvellous clouds and colours. A jetty and the boat frame the sun and the well known building very nicely.
Regards,
Gert

Hello Jason,
Yes, this is pretty chaotic, but the paintings are interesting and quite well done. Usually a composition benefits from containing a diagonal or two. These stairs provide quite good diagonals, but this time they're only needed for safety, the composition can do without them because there is só much else to catch my attention. I think you've chosen the title with very good consideration.
Regards,
Gert

Hello Nicolas,
Another very neat composition and a superb observation. Fantastic tones of green and blue and something in between. Great diagonal lines, cute boats all neatly covered, and a very nice little garage.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Luciano,
I would have hesitated to take a picture of these guys. It doesn't look entirely safe. In any case it's a memorable photo and certainly a decisive moment too. I also like the fairly cheap touristic atmosphere and the background screen of tropical trees.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Danos,

Congratulations on your 600th post. You celebrate with a very funny photo taken with excellent timing. I really enjoy the composition wite the two giraffes' long necks pointing to each of the photo's uppers corners. TFS and have a nice Sunday!

Kind regards,

Ulf

Hello John,
This makes me think of the old Noel Coward song "Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midnight sun"... or maybe I make a mistake... and you're not even English..,
;-).
In any case this is an interesting photo with a fantastic, well maintained light and a fascinating view of the little settlement. Today you would probably have included all of the car, or left it all out :-).
In August 1979 I had recently returned from my first journey to Turkey and the Middle East, an experience that changed my life. Did Greenland have the same profound importance to your future?
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Mansour,

You have captured the landscape well. You made good use of the lighting conditions. The not very strong lighting make it possible to see every detail. Very nice colors. TFS and have a nice evening!

Kind regards,


Ulf

Hi Adrian,

Very nice summer scene. The photo is very vivid with the girls in the foreground and all the activities in the background. I really like the DOG where evebody is very sharp. Also the people quite far away on the left hand side. TFS and have a nice Sunday evening!

Kind regards,

Ulf
