too bad the summer is over... Photo

Photographer’s Note

Middle of the city - almost the middle of the autumn...
And I was passing by :)
In the background: the islet of Skeppsholmen and Skeppsholmskyrkan (The Skeppsholm Church) which is only partly visible in the distance.

The Skeppsholm Church was built 1823-1849 to replace a minor wooden church on Blasieholmen destroyed in the devastating fire of 1822.

I also thought maybe to crop the photo on the right: another version is in the Workshop. I wonder which is better...

Hej Marina,
I can't say which of the two variants is much better, but maybe I prefer this more panoramic version - because we can see more boats... and there is more blue sky in this photo than in the WS one :-)

IMHO, you captured the autumnal air and mood very well. And I very much like these two people sitting on the "endless" bench, enjoying the weak autumnal sun rays. Pretty soon it will grow dark at 4 PM, and the winter nights will be very dark, and the whole city will fall into semi-hibernation...
I like the sense of direction in this photo. It looks a bit dark to my eyes, though. But I guess it's just because of such a contrast lighting at that moment?..
Wishing you a nice day!
Elena

Hello Marina,
You captured pleasant and peaceful scene, in which the pleasure of people is palpable, and transmissible to us. The light is beautiful. The colors are sober and natural. Clearness is perfect. Cheer.
Have a nice day
Cordially
Joël
