Photographer’s Note

Just a street in an old dutch city, Haarlem, the capitol of province Noord Holland.
In the end, you can see the St.Bavo-church and I experimented something on TL with this church, however two other members made a WS for me, see also Marie's (Neige) and Zandra's (zto)

Me gustó lo que conocí de Holanda. Veo que su arquitectura es similar en casi todas sus ciudades. Un bello lugar.

Bonita perspectiva de foto.
Felicitaciones

Fantastic!!! I like this so much!!!

And do you know why I like it so much? This is the Frankestraat, the street I used to live in before I moved to Århus! Oh, I want to go home again.... Quite a coincidence to find it here.

The street is very old, from the 13th century, and old name was "Vrankenstreeg" (steeg =alley). It used to be a quite poor street, but that's a long long time ago...

Very nice.
Balance of light and shadow are very good.

Great picture! Nice view of a lovely street in my hometown, Haarlem! The St. Bavo really is a beautiful and old church.
Thank you for showing my own Haarlem here on TE!

With the Capitol and the beautiful houses's ranges, the POV is interesting, Hans. But I'm not sure with the underexposure in the street's area. Nevertheless, the shot is well-framed. I like the location of the Capitol in background and the sign in the right side into the foreground.

J'aime cette ruelle, Hans, baignée dans l'ombre avec quelques éclats de lumière qui viennent éclairer les façades anciennes.
J'aime la ruelle qui serpente et nous conduit à cette église peu ordinaire avec son clocher se terminant en bulbe.
Très belle réussite, Hans.
Merci du partage.

nice image of the path, shame it is very dark in the majority of areas, but you managed well. Good shot

Great definition and perfectly framed. Impression is very possitive for a walk in your composition.
Well done

Haarlem een ven de steden dat ik nooit bezocht heb Hans, maar u heeft dit mooi geflikt met de kerk in de midden te plaatsen en het kleine steegje te laten uitlopen op het plein, dit is te zien goed in de diepte, het donkere gedeelte wordt onmiddellijk gecompenseerd door de mooie blauwe hemel. De Zilveren Smidsche is een mooi detail.

Hi Hans, I like the view of this old street that reminds me of my trips to Holland, there is a nice pespective ans a nice curve, but to my eye, it's a bit dark and the house details don't appear very well, I try a WS

Super cropping! The narrow street gives way to a narrow photo. I love the leading lines and tones, too!

Ik ken deze kerk, ben ik altijd verbaasd bij de Nederlandse steden,: bij menselijke schaal, kleurrijk en interessant. Goed gebogen perspectief met het openen op het licht.

Tight cropping and use of the street ends in a fine overall compo. Interesting details, well done hans

Good compositional use of the softly bending street in the foreground to lead the attention towards the church tower. Very good job handling the exposure here, Hans, I've done an amount of these shots and constantly struggle to get it right. The old signs and lamps outside the charming buildings are delightful in their own right, and in terms of the framing I like how the rows of houses start in the upper corners of your photo. Very nice one.

Nice composition of this street of your country, Hans. I like how you framed the sign and the church. Goed werk!
