De echte typische duitse huizen, er moet tijdje naar deze foto gekeken worden want er zijn zoveel details te zien, maar door de scherpte is alles goed te bekijken, zelfs de schotel antennes zijn te zien. Goed werk hier Hans!

Inderdaad, John heeft gelijk. Er is echt heel veel te ontdekken tussen die grijze daken. Prachtige, kleurige vakwerkgevels en heel scherp genomen. Goed werk!

Badly not seen top, the point of view is very interesting like framing right on the houses, well considering.

They are indeed in other tones then roofs of houses in Dubrovnik (what we see many time this summer on TE) ;-) How great is it that every country have hers homegrown fine difference.
Regards, Don.

Beautiful medieval city center very well preserved

Among all these gray roofs, the two houses in the middle are really the point of attraction, with their beautiful architecture. This is a clever way to attract the viewer right on the subject !
P.S. Congratulations for your critique in French, unfortunately I am not able to write mine in Dutch :-(

Interessant view... Great architecture and roofs! Agreable to me. Perspective and capture angle is fine too.
Very well done and seen Hans.

Wonderful, Hans. Multiple patterns in your shot are adding up to a pleasing total - the roofs, the half-timbering on the houses, the windows. I also like that dash of green in the lower right corner. Very crisp appearance, and the colors in-between the gray roofs are really pretty.

Very pretty view Hans. The two houses in the centre are the real eye-catchers and have a lot to offer in details on their facades. Interesting to see the different styles in architecture in this overview.

Une très belle composition représentant des maisons de poupée. J'aime la finesse de l'image et les couleurs très réalistes.
J'aime beaucoup la réalisation.
Very well done Hans.
A very beautiful composition representing doll's houses. I like the sharpness of the image and the very realistic colours.
I like very much the realization.
Very well done Hans.

This is an interesting shot, Hans. I like the clear lines of the facades of the two houses showing up against the grey rooftops. Nice captured.

The roofs colour of predominantly grey contrast and make the central house stand out from the crowd - well spotted :)

This is a great shot Hans. You are really so lucky that you have a wonderful country with such wonderful views and it's a luckiness for your country there are capable photographers like you to present the wonders. Good job as it is always. Thanks for sharing with us:)))

merpb (1970) 2004-09-07 9:45

Effective use of repetition to provide a frame for the focal point of the shot Hans.

cgrindahl (6109) 2004-09-07 19:42

The brightly colored half-timbered facades add delight to the many gray surfaces you give us Hans. It would be easy to read this collection of buildings as part of a model railroad layout, so we'll have to trust you when you say it is really a village on the Mosel... ;-)

Colors and details are nicely rendered and the quaint, claustrophobic feel of the old town comes across well. Fine work.

When I looked out over the roof tops in Reykjavík they were all in different colours, red, yellow, turqouise, green, purple and so on. This looks a bit more clean and a little less crazy :)
I think you have a beautiful view here, nice shades of gray, excelletn details and lovely house fasades. This village looks so iddylic and beautiful.
Well seen and taken.

avigur_11 (21271) 2004-09-11 1:01

I like this kind of chaotic arrangement of the roofs position and orientation, and the greys look great here. Good shot, Hans.

Un angle de vue qui donne une bonne vue aérienne, sur des petites maison comme on en trouve en Alsace. De bien belles couleurs.
Amitié.

RegisMinot (1317) 2004-09-30 19:24

I like very much this close framing on the roofs. 90% of the image is grey but it is nevertheless very interesting due to the variety of shapes of those roofs. The houses whith half timberiung are beautiful and seen through a non classical angle of view.

natc (315) 2004-10-02 18:14

nice colours and very clever composition : the free space in the middle allows to see the front of the houses and makes the whole picture more pleasant, less oppressing. the tree in the front also brings some freshness in this very urban picure. i like all this a lot.

Nice shots of Bernkastel-Kues,

but most of the photos are not sorted right:
Bernkastel-Kues, Trittenheim, Leiwen, Trier, Irrel, Neumagen, Piesport, Zeltingen, Wehlen, Kröv, Traben-Trarbach are situated at the lovely river Moselle and belong politically to Rheinland-Pfalz / Germany (not to Nordrhein-Westfalen) !
Also Koblenz belongs to R-Pfalz,
Zweibrücken belongs to the Saarland / Germany.

If somebody needs certain photos of the Moselle-Area or the area of Bonn (or esp. of Mallorca / Baleares / Spain), please let me know.
sinc. VBR

Hi Hans, its a very interesting composition showing the different tones of gray and contrasting the few rich colours with them. Well done. Daniel

The contrast between the slate-grey roofs and the colourful exteriors is intriguing... The same photograph taken in winter with the roofs covered in snow would be also interesting.

The exposure has caught the detail nicely, and with no harsh sunlight you have avoided getting highlights blown out.
