Witaj Gosiu,
sama architektura,ale tez i unikalne polozenie nad woda sprawiaja ze scena jest piekna i ma pewnego rodzaju unikalny,urzekajacy klimat.Znakomicie ja skadrowalas.Do tego jeszcze dwa elementy,ktore tez wplywaja na tak pozytywny odbior zdjecia-kolory oraz niezwykle formacje chmur.Super kompozycja.

Pozdrawiam serdecznie

A splendid postcard from the beautiful city of Ghent. I like the oblique point of view down the river and the lovely ensemble of architecture. The sky is very attractive as well. A very well presented image with first class light, colours and sharpness.

Gosiu,
bardzo ladna pocztowka faktycznie bylaby z tego zdjecia. Swietnie wybralas POV i skomponowalas calosc. Podobaja mi sie nie tylko proporcje, ale takze kolory, ktore choc nasycone nie wydaja sie przekombinowane. Piekne niebo stanowi doskonale wykonczenie zdjecia.
Pozdrawiam

Ciao Gosia,
oggi hai proposto una delle località più belle del Belgio e giustamente la tua condivisione è stata apprezzata.
Bella la composizione con il canale che domina la scena e gli edifici che gareggiano in bellezza, sia pur molto diversi l'uno dall'altro. Il cielo è una pennellata di azzurro che aggiunge ulteriore fascino al tuo scatto che a me piace particolarmente per i colori piuttosto delicati.
Ciao e buona serata
Romano

Cricri (86391) 2013-02-13 10:46

Hi Gosia
Une belle image de Gand, belle lumière qui filtre les nuages blancs, belle vue sur ces différentes architectures, doux reflets et couleurs du canal, très jolie
Belle soirée

Ciao Gosia
bellissima città, dove architettura ed arte si uniscono.
Sei riuscita a vedere il capolavoro dei fretelli van Eyck? Purtroppo io sono arrivato tardi e Saint-Bavo's era già chiusa :(
Saluti
Carlo

eldancer1 (17008) 2013-02-13 14:08

I still think the old architectures are much better and beautiful than modern buildings. Nicely captured with good lighting and dof with sharp details. Wonderful colors. Well done, tfs.

Hello Gosia,
Yet a little less familiar sight of Ghent but a beautiful one!
Excellent clarity, sharpness and composition.
That sky is a great backdrop!
PS: You sign with 'Gosia' but I notice that all Polish speakers greet you with 'Gosiu' ... From where the difference ?
Best regards, Paul

Robert1969 (6224) 2013-02-17 2:02

Hello Gosia,

Gent or Brugge are photogenic cities (for the
record, I've never visited them). You took a
great point of view and composition: the
picture has a lots of lines and that creates
a nice depth. The open space (canal) makes
the picture nice calmness. Light management
is also great.

Friendly regards,
Robert

A well composed shot with lovely fg reflections and a nice sliver of deep blue sky. Good sharpness and saturation. A nice warm cold colour contrast between the brick red bg building & the blue sky. Perspective is excellent. Tfs!

A beautifully composed photo with excellent balance and perspective. I love the architecture and you handled the light superbly. The building in the left foreground is exquisite and the wide angle lens has worked wonders on the perspective.

Thanks for sharing, have a lovely day

kato (6761) 2013-04-22 8:55

Hi Gosia,

You're capturing well this place by a good composition and excellent tone/clarity, so it's impressive to see the calm/beautiful city with the canal, cathedral and old buildings. The whole is harmonized well by a good color combination. And, the reflection projected to the canal draws out an additional good effect in this image.

Kind regards,
mikio
