Salut Pierre,

Merveilleux bateau j'aime bien cette vue en N&B et j'avoue que j'adore la photo en WS, la vue arriere est tres belle aussi.

Hi Ziggy

I like the b&w sepia conversion. A superb tonal range, but I'd increase contrast slightly. Good work!

Bonjour Pierre,
Très intéressante note d'accompagnement. Quant aux photographies, elles ont toutes les deux un grand intérêt, j'aurais peut-être une préférence pour celle en atelier qui est superbe avec ces volutes de fumée qui se dessine sur les bois en arrière-plan.
Quoi qu'il en soit, c'est une réussite.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Pierre,
Thanks for the interesting note about the old steam boat, but I find the WS better, lovely of colours and the smoke is wonderful, this here is more detail picture.
Very well done!

Hi Pierre, This is a well composed picture with nice details and sharpness. You have well captured the dynamic of the steamboat wovement and the steam and water at the rear of the boat. A well taken picture.

Bon soir Pierre, This is very elegant and well framed capture. I like the way the well rendered steam and spray complements the lines of this steamer. The BW conversion looks good with the full set of grey tones.
Thanx for the exciting colour WS and the very interesting note too!
Regards from Rotterdam,
Bert

The black and white works so well here, Pierre! The focus really gets put right on the paddle wheels and the exciting action there. Nice work and lovely tones!

Nice detail of the steamer - tight cropping working well even without a flag. Good choice to present in bw.

Salut Pierre,
A nice detail shot of the steam boat.Good B/W shot with a wide tonal range and excellent sharpness but I think I like the colored, complete view of the boat in the Ws even more.
Greetings,

Bonjour, Pierre.
Le n&b va particulièrement bien à ce cliché, et j'aime bien le choix du pdv et de la composition. Le temps de pause est bien trouvé et nous donne une bonne idée du mouvement de la roue à aubes. Merci du partage !

I like the action in this fine image - if it wasen't for the tourists this could have a 100 years old photo (ok may sepia would have been better - but I like the B&W still) thanks Pierre for sharing.

Bon matin Pierre,
Très bonne idée le noir et blanc pour cette image qui lui donne un air ancien, le cadrage est intéressant et les tons de gris bien équilibrés. La photo jointe en couleur est particulièrement belle.

Bon week-end,
Christian

Oh dear, oh dear, I'd preferred the WS-photo, Pierre, which I find amazing in every way: the composition, the colors, the white smoke against the totally wood-covered backdrop, the action and the flag. In comparison this shot - well showing the action - comes out a bit 'feeble'. If I was you, I'd delete the WS and upload it later as an original. Great note, although I don't understand the -Ha-Ha part. Well done!

Cet arriere de bateau qui nous ramène 150 ans en arrière est vraiment interessant.
Bien choisi comme détail, une propultion fumante et battante.
J'aime bien aussi le choix du NB.
Compliments
