Photographer’s Note
A photograph that in file were forgets , I have this summer a number such views made. At this place in "Zeeland" there is take very much beautiful photograph of nature. The creeks twist which order straight through agriculture region, to give always a very quiet feeling.
This picture I have cropped to a better composition.
I hope you like it.

A surprising and very welcome flashback into summer, John. A beautiful pastoral scene with the sheeps by the creek, and yet another example for your expert use of a leading diagonal to build perspective. The light in this one, and the way in which it enhances the natural colors, is very pretty.
P.S. I think your copyright note might date a little too far into the future ;-) (20004).

I am happy to know that also in 20004 the Earth will be still so green! Beautiful diagonal and perpective as Norbert has written. Stupend colors. You did well to break the Autumnal serie with this one. The animals add a lot to the pastoral scene. Well done, John.
P.S. How are the girls in 20004? ;))))

Ik zal hier wel de enigste zijn die echte kritiek heeft john. Natuurlijk is het een mooi landschap in Zeeland. Maar nu komt het en U voelt de kritiek al aan komen. Het had een goede foto kunnen zijn, als de linker rij bomen geheel in beeld was geweest. Dat is ze nu niet, wat ten koste gaat van het geheel. Verder had U zeker nog een cm of 7 kunnen croppen aan de rechterkant, Maar ja John ik zit weer te zeveren. Maar U begrijpt me wel.

Pas winter en we verlangen weer naar zomer hé john. Mooi standpunt de beek langszij en zomerse kleuren in het groen en de lucht. Dat had zonde geweest van deze zomaar achteloos te vergeten, hier wordt ie weer eer aan gedaan.

Hi John
Good use of linear perspective & vanishing point in the composition. I like the reflections, sidelighting & contrasting colours of blue & geen.

I like it a lot.
A nice clear day. Sunshine. Great stuff. Much better than the moody and gloomy pictures you were posting earlier. This is not to say that they were not good, but I like the bright, colourful, and lively pictures to help brighten the day.

Clouds crowding a bright sky, water bringing quietness to the landscape and a very finely chiseled row of trees that drive the eye into the picture.
You have an eye for perspective.

First of all, very well composed with lots of rich elements... water, trees and animals - nothing in fault! ;)
Well seen and composed.

Een bijna onwerkelijk mooi zomerplaatje... Goed gedaan! Het lijkt wel een scene uit die ene film van Alex van Warmerdam, met die trein... "De Jurk"

Bonjour john,
On ne te rate pas sur TE ! ;-))
Ceci dit, cette image reste dans ton style de vues d'endroits toujours tranquilles, paisibles et agréables à regarder.

Nice contrast to the weather here in the moment. Very misty and cloudy. Looking at your photo with these vivid colors and nice light is even more enjoyable then. Good composition. I like it.

Wow, what a return to summer. If only it were this easy in reality to flip between the seasons. This is such a bright and vibrant shot. Such a brightness and vitality to it. THe colors, the sky, everything well saturated. The animals adding that to the feel. And the ditch and rows of trees again offer a great perspective.

Cher John,
Vous aimez la nature et la nature vous le rend bien !
J'aime ces paysages bucoliques, ils inspirent la sérénité et la beauté toute simple.
Encore une très belle réalisation John.
Un grand merci du partage.

Heerlijk John om hier, al bijna de hele week grijs en mistig weer, dat mooie zomerlicht en -kleuren te zien. De compo is apart met de de sloot geheel links maar geheel in balans. Kleuren en scherpte zijn spot on ....en wat is de lucht er mooi uitgekomen! Erg fijn werk.

Nice to see such warm summery colour at this bleak and cold time of year. It is a nice composition to include the river on the left, and good perspective in the two lines of trees either side. Good contrast in the clouds, and indeed the whole picture,
Compliments,
Steve

You are like the grandpa, who owns the corner candy store and I am the kid, who keeps coming over on a daily basis. If your photos is candy and I am the kid, pretty soon I would have to see my dentist :)

Uw foto's van Zeeuws Vlaanderen geven precies het gevoel weer dat ik zelf steeds ervaar als ik er ben: een gevoel van rust, ruimte en schoonheid. Deze foto is bijna een schilderij.
