XX Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

In the southern embankment of the river Tahmes , the battle ship HMS Belfast became a floating naval museum. I got many shots of the hugh deck, the amazing cannons, but most of all pictures, I like the XX formed by the chains.

I like those XX very much. Great mix of blue/white/black tones. Well seen, composed and framed. The people in the background are a nice addition.

A symphony in blue !
The light is superb and gives nice reflections on the boat.
I like also the two charachters in the background who show the scale of the scene.
Very graphic, I like it very much, Yitzak !

very beautiful composition again Yitzhak..I liked the xx shadow..people at the back gives great ref to how big this is..I am only not sure about the white part on the ship ? is it very sharp on the edges ? ( I am back at the office computer after 2 weeks, so it might be different calibration than home)

Well seen and well captured Yitzhak. I like the lines and shapes in the photo, and the way you composed it. The people in the background is also a nice touch, giving the photo scale and depth. Well done.

Well seen composition. We could call it "a symphony in blue" ..

I like your title very much. I like the colors too. And the people..they add a human element to this shot. This is a top rate picture.

Wow, beautifully captured. Very creative and appropriate title. Nice color tones and well framed. Great work! :-)

Ships and boats are always fine objects for shooting, Yitzhak! At the thumbnail I thought XX was about the ship's size and I was going to say that it is mostly like XXL..:-P
Well, as it is for the lines of chains, you certainly soptted the lovely pattern of details, together with the water reflections. Very pleasant composition and true colours. Very good job!

Very good photo Yitzhak,
With a nice composition, good lines good colours, and a good shadow, very good job you did, good job.

Great one, Yitzhak. I like how the ship is taking up such a huge amount of space, yet you managed to fit the pedestrians into the frame as well. The "XX" is well spotted, whereby the shadow is almost clearer and crisper than the white chain. Very creative framing for this good capture.

Bien vu le croisement des chaînes et du reflet de l'eau sur la coque du bateau.
J'aime les couleurs douces et naturelles de la composition.
Très bien fait Yitzhak.
Well considering the crossing of the chains and the reflection of l'eau on the hull of the boat. J'aime soft and natural colors of the composition. Very well done Yitzhak.

Simple, yet efective lines, shadows and shapes combine, as always into one nice whole. I walked and boated past her several times, and yet did not see this angle of view!

Beautiful blow eye and framing is perfect, likes shade of the chains, is a good idea, the colors are interesting. well considering.

ChrisJ (69396) 2004-05-11 3:32

Well titled. I like the negative & positive x's here.

femkevdh (2633) 2004-05-11 3:58

Indeed, nice compo with the xx's.
Great framing, great colours. That blue fence at the background is a nice repaeting blue detail too!

jhonny_blue (4938) 2004-05-11 4:40

Beautiful colours and a very creative title makes this picture a fantastic shot !
Congratulations

Trés artistique cette image avec cette chaine qui nous guide sur un sujet bien détaillé.
Bonne presentation qui tire pour ma part dans un style plutot abstrait
Bravo Yitzhak.
