Hi Roger,
once more a wonderful impression of this idyllic place; the colors are fantastic. The red sails are really catching the eyes. Very pleasant atmosphere, one can smell the salty air! Your POV and the management of the light are excellent too. An amazingly beautiful photo again!
Warm regards
Harriet

cette voile rouge illumine l'image. Une belle lumière écossaise et des palmiers dus au "gulf stream".

Salut Roger!
C'est une photo vraiment belle!
La luminosité a été parfaitement gérée avec un équilibre excellent entre la lumière et les ombres!
Les couleurs sont magnifiques et la netteté est très bonne! Le point de vue a été très bien choisi et j'adore surtout la compo qui est chouette! Les gens, les bateaux, les maisons, la mer et les montagnes au fond, tous ces éléments-là sont merveilleusement placés dans cette image!
Merci beaucoup de ce partage!
Amitiés,
Neyvan

Bonsoir Roger,

J'aimerai bien être le propriétaire d'une de ces maison pour profiter de ce merveilleux endroit sauvage comme je les aime. Une belle photo avec un contraste premier plan/arrière plan qui donne un relief extra à ta composition. Je verrai bien ta photo entre les mains d'un bon peintre, je suis sûr que ça ferait un très jolie toile. Les couleurs sont agréables et harmonieuses. Merci Roger.

Avec toutes mes amitiés et une très bonne soirée,

Jean-Charles

Boy, another great example of the effectiveness of foreground interest in a shot in which the main subject is something else. The people really add interest to the shot. I'm learning something every day on this site. Thanks, Judy

Hello Roger,
This picture with so beautiful nature and architecture seems to be very artistic and romantic. Some details of the image, for example the red sails, give even more romanticism, especially for the people born in Soviet Union, where the novel "Scarlet Sails" written by romantic writer Alexander Grin about nature, travels and love was very popular. I think your picture is about the same things. Very well captured!
Best regards,
Sergiy

hello Roger,
a delightful composition with a good dof. There is so much interesting detail from the foreground interest of men and boats through the mid ground of white houses to the hills beyond.I especially like the splash of red of the sail.

Je garde un oeil nostalgique sur ce motif marin. Definitivement, le Danube cannot remplacer la mer. Tu l'offre genereusement ici, Roger, ami. Bonne soiree,

Branko

phwall (5546) 2009-07-01 16:15

Hi Roger,
A very inviting scene. The sailing dinghies in the foreground add a good splash of colour to the pure white buildings. Nicely composed too, I like the way you've spread the points of interest diagonally across the frame, the balance is just right.
For me, you've captured the atmosphere of Plockton perfectly.
Regards
Peter

pierrefonds (26167) 2009-07-01 16:48

Bonsoir Roger,

Les réflexions dans l'eau sont des atouts à la composition. La présences des personnes a un effet d'échelle de grandeur. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails et les couleurs des maisons. Elle dirige aussi notre regard vers les montagnes en arrière-plan ce qui donne de la profondeur à la photo. La bonne luminosité donne de belles teintes aux différentes couleurs du paysage. Bonne soirée.

Hi Roger,

Nice Scottish landscape. I would like so much to go somewhen to Scottland, to see the Highlands. Interesting architecrure of these white houses. Eyecatching view of the red sail.

Bonjour Roger,
Sous la lumière les collines rocheuses ne sont pas sans me rappeler les petites montagnes d'Hérault. Une image bien réalisée où le premier plan attire l'attention. Une belle image intéressante. Bravo.
Bonne journée

Salut Roger,
Joli paysage bien animé par cette voile rouge même si la blanche devant gêne un peu, bel ensemble avec cette scène.

jonathan_hart (22570) 2009-07-02 16:51

les contrastes de lumière ont fait que c'était difficile d'éviter de crâmer les surface blanches, mais au final, ça rend très bien, avec ce super bonus de la voile rouge, c'est une très belle image , chapeau

Urs (2770) 2009-07-02 16:52

Dear Roger

That is a nice picture of a small fishing village with vivid colors, especially the bright white houses and the vibrant red sail. The people in the foreground add to the excellent DOF. A perfectly framed and executed shot. Well done

Best regards

adramad (3542) 2009-07-03 12:43

Hello Roger.
A great photo of this idyllic place, with these typical houses in the promontory, I like great POV the incorporation of the mountains to the bottom, this way as the prominent figures in the first plane they give life to the place. Good light and color.
Regards and good weekend.
Luis.

Next 5th I leave a few days of vacations to Pyrenees, to my return we will continue in contact.

Aires

Dyerco (9038) 2009-07-04 7:56

Hi Roger
You were faced with a difficult lighting situation here. The FG is in shadow and the white walls of the houses are in bright sunlight. You did a good job of averaging it out. The little red boat on the right provides a nice balance to the composition.
Phil

bakes888 (18155) 2009-07-04 13:52

Hi Roger. Great photo, you have a wonderful backdrop for the village and sailors. The red sails really catch the eye and draw the viewer into the scene. Nice work and thanks for sharing.
Have a good Sunday, Paul.

emjleclercq (14256) 2009-07-05 0:44

La vue est superbe, notament sur l'arrière-plan et les taches de rouge au premier plan sont parfaites pour donner de la vie à l'image. Trés bien vu.

Bien cordialement,
