Hej Gert,
phantastic composition, it would have been a pity not to be scanned. Colours are still wonderful! There is an overall melancholic mood on this image.

Again, very interesting - the old traditional boats and these tree trunks which don't seem to be part of a mangrove (too big for that I guess).
These scanned photos have a special charm, of course they are not perfect but the colours are great too and they are really important documents.
TFS once again, compliments and best regards,
Cath.

Hello Gert,
A very beautiful scene with lovely soft blues. I wonder how much this part of the world has changed & what it would look like today. Another job well done.

Beautiful compo, blue tones and reflections. I like the tree trunks emerging from water. A photo taken in 1976 ? I think that in those times I tried to read a book about photography and decided that it was far too complicated for me, although I should have liked to become a photographer. It took me 30 years to change my mind....
TFS,
Andreea

Hello Gert,
it's a beautiful landscape which reminds me of a painted image: no oversharpened lines, just soft strokes and yet they are sharp and clear enough.
The colour gamma creates a bit of a nostalgic mood and brings tranquility into the focus. The trunk in the foreground is a plus for the composition.
thank you and best regards,
Elena

Hej Gert,
Very fine colours and a simple but effective composition. The reflections of the masts and the tree are very attractive.
Hälsningar
