Hi Hendrik,
Exif info shows me that the settings were totally wrong and here are the reasons:
1. For landscape photography you never need ISO 400, it`s too noisy.
2. The shutter speed was too short, just because of the high ISO.
3. The lenses don’t work perfectly well at 5.0 apertures. You should use 8.0 or above.
4. Even if the manufacturer recommends sRGB mode, I think that it is better to use Adobe RGB because of the wider gamut and after you are done with post-processing convert it to sRGB and save it for the web.

On the other hand, the composition looks very good to me.
Regards,
Nelu

Zo, zo weet je maar weer wat er zo allemaal mis is!! :~))!! Persoonlijk vind ik ook dat het licht iets te hard is voor het late uur. Toch is het een goed samengstelde foto. Prettig weekend, John.

Bonsoir, mon ami Hendrik,
Voilà une prise de vue qui ferait la joie de peintres tant la vue s'y prête.
La beauté du paysage est remarquable.
Très belles couleurs avec un très beau rendu.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Dag Hendrik,

Ik zal hier niet de advocaat van de duivel spelen, want ik lees daar enkele dingen waarvan ik mij vragen stel.
Alleen u heeft automatisch gewerkt en niet in RAW, maar dit komt wel binnenkort.
Die deze foto afkeurt moet eens op TE kijken.
Deze foto is zeker mooi, en wij genieten van uw werk. Alles ligt hier klaar!!!

Prettig weekend,
John

Hi Hendrik,
This one is another magnificent composition, of a nice landscape crossed by the canal, the barge, the house and the sky.
All the elements work to give a great quality to the image and very much visual attraction.
You have controlled very well the difficult light and have obtained a few wonderful reflections in the water and a few natural colors.
A great work.
Best regards,
Josep
PS: your attempt of writing the critique to my photo of the mills in Spanish is had successful, is correct. Thanks.

U bent ook een kei in het maken van goede composities dat wist ik al.
technisch kan dit volgens mij veel beter. Net wat John zei, foto's onder Raw, onder tv of av de foto maken met een snelle sluitertijd en een hoge F, iso 400 gebruik ik zelf ook heel vaak, dus dat zit wel snor, goed fotowerk verder.
groet Jaap

The light from the side has caused some very strong contrasts as well as the lovely tones of blue, which are attractive. The perspective composition works very well with the canal leading the eye right through the image from left to right. I think Nelu has made some very good technical points, particularly as f5 is a very narrow DOF for a landscape. Nevertheless it is an attractive scene

Hi Hendrik,
Huge depth of field and an excellent composition. Colours are very vivid and it's sharp throughout for f/5! i have the same lens...great aren't they?? Good job.
