Hi Vincent,

Nice view of Amsterdam!
What were the camera settings here? Must have been a few seconds, looking at the water. But it surely gives a nice soft reflection of the light.
I might have worked on some masking, hue and saturation, to get the sky a bit darker blue and the white parts in the distance gone. You used a polarizer? Well, won't have that much impact when shooting into the direction of the light. But I like it!

Greetings,
Dennis

Bonjour Vincent
Joli pdv le long du canal bordé d'étoiles jaunes. J'aime bien le contraste entre les édifices si nettes et l'eau si lisse. Il manque peut-être juste la traînée d'un bateau pour ajouter de l'animation.
Salutations

Bonjour Vincent,
Beau cliché nocturne. Si tu avais attendu 10 minutes de plus, tu aurais été en pleine heure bleue et évité la partie plus claire dans le ciel.
J'aime bien la longue exposition que tu as choisie et qui, en plus des réverbères étoilés, te permet d'obtenir un bel effet sur le canal.
Cordialement,
Marianne

Hi Vincent,
Remarkable night scene ... the lined lights and reflections made this photo special. Although the contrast is intense, some fine details in the buildings are still recognizable.... well managed lighting. Wonderfully captured and superbly composed. Excellent work! tfs
Cheers,
Renier
