Down by the Docks Photo

Photographer’s Note

I took this picture about a year ago by the Old Canals in Utrecht, the Netherlands.
I was going through this series of old photos when this one caught my eye because of the repetitive blue. I edited it: I croped it (it was part of a large shot)with a focus on these two interesting individuals. They reminded me of some fictional characters, having stepped right out of a novel!
I hope you like it!

It's a nice observation and well worth shooting - and although at first i felt more critical of the composition it does have a very interesting geometry with the couple contained by the fence, the mooring post, the metal box and the brickwork over the door - the colour match is just wonderful - however I still feel something lacking here.

best wishes Kev

Ciao Anne,
bel colpo ! trovare i signori con la sciarpa dello stesso colore delle scritte dietro.
Un caro saluto.

Ciao dear Anne Sophie,
I appreciate a lot this photo, not only for the curious combining of the colors of the people with the graffiti of the door, but above all for the wealth of details well defined. You have done really an interesting composition, thanks also to your excellent sense of the observation. Compliments!
Ciao have a nice Sunday!
Paolo

Bonjour Anne Sophie,
Je peux dire que tu as un très bon coup d'oeil ! D'ailleurs les précédentes images le prouvent. ;o)
Très bon shot des personnages. Quant au décor, il est un sujet à lui tout seul.
Tu devrais indiquer le matériel utilisé pour tes prises de vue.
Mes amitiés
Pierre

Salut Anna Sophie,
Quelle fantastique rencontre! C'est vraiment trop beau de voir un tel assortiment.
Heureusement que tu avais l'appareil photo, tu l'aurais regretté toute ta vie si tu ne l'avais pas emporté ce jour là. Et heureusement aussi que tes yeux étaient à l'affût.
Bravo!
Diane
