Merhaba, my friend Ertugrul,
A splendid light before the late afternoon, and a sky with some clouds really nice, that gets confused with the bed and the water of the river in the low tide.
The colors are agreeable and soft, and such a strong light creates a few shades with a lot of graphical force and much contrasts.
Curious history of this boat in your note.
Good work.
Friendly regards,
Josep

Merhaba Ertuğrul,
Adı nehir ama adeta büyük bir göl gibi görünüyor.
Taşıdığı suyun fazlalığını düşününce balıkçılar için büyük imkan sağlarken işlerini zorlaştırdığı da açık.
Sayende farklı bir coğrafyayı tanıyoruz.
Teşekkürler. Uğur

Ertugrul,

wonderful light and reflections .. so many of your images have these wonderful - almost roof like - low clouds over this water ...really evocative thoughtful scene.

take care,

John

Ağbi Merhaba,
Valla sizin bu fotoğraflar olmasa Surinam'ı hayalimizde canlandırmak mümkün olmayacaktı. İstatistiklerde Surinam'dan bu sitede 3 kişinin olduğu anlaşılıyor. Birisinin bizden olması ve böyle güzel fotoğraflarla bizi buluşturması harika bir durum. Selamlar.

Hi Ertugrul,
good to see a new posting from you.
The sunlight on the mud gives the scene a certain cachet although I expect that the inhabitant of the boat doesn't see the beauty of his surrounding.
Good compo.
Regards, Gerrit

Hi, Ertugrul! A nice landscape, very similar to those we have in some northern Brazilian states. The boat looks "sad" in this position, out of use! Nice work, as ever! Teshekkür ederim! Best regards, my friend! Miguel.

Hi Ertugrul,
Your POV and theme to this photo is most thought provoking. Why was it abandoned? The cloudy skis and thick mud add to its stark and puzzeling appearance.

Merhaba Ertugrul,
I bet that not much people would find ways to produce so nice photos with a muddy river and an old boat that has seen better days in its past.
You did it, and in a much efective manner.
Great pov, excelent grazing light and sharpness, as it is your habit.
TFS, Regards, José.

Hi Ertugrul,
A well composed shot of this old boat, well ensconced in the mud of the river. I like the angled view of the hull and the fine lighting in the foreground. This was a difficult scene to capture and you obtained a fine result. Its a keeper...later.

Olá Ertugrul, another great shot of your river and mud. Your composition is very good. I love the diagonal of the boat and the graphism of the poles. Good depth and perfect placement of the pier in the background. The lighting is beautiful.
Friendly regards,
Ricardo

Merhaba Ertu?rul, j'aime well your framing with the shades luminous and shaving that distils the stakes of moorings, a photograph d'une beautiful fluidity of at the time ideal for the catch of sight and very pleasant to look at, I do not know if s`étais the case, but through l`image I feel calm and a silence surrounding this place, it should not y have much tourist, and this lagoon profits from a very beautiful illumination, arkadasça selamlar ..........................
Merhaba Ertuğrul, j'aime bien ton cadrage avec les ombres lumineuse et rasante que distille les piquets d’amarrages, une photo d'une belle fluidité du au moment idéal pour la prise de vue et très agréable à regarder,
je ne sais si s‘étais le cas, mais au travers de l‘image je ressens un calme et un silence entourant cet endroit, il ne doit pas y avoir beaucoup de touriste, et ce lagon bénéficie d’une très belle illumination, arkadasça selamlar

Hello Ertugrul.
I like the natural tones here. There is a nice golden glow to the shot. This is a nioce perspective as the line of the boat gives a good angle into the shot. I see many abandoned ships around my home and I always wonder how this happens. Seems as though there is some construction on the far pier.
Fine shot friend,
Chris.

Hi Ertugrul,

Good composition and an excellent illumination, I like the brightness of the water and its interesting textures, all the elements of the scene perfectly are placed with the exception of the small boat that shows by the right, but that is a small detail. Good work and thanks to share.

Regards
José

I imagine you were standing on a jetty to take this, rather than on that rather sticky looking and treacherous mud, hence the elevated viewpoint.
I do think this would have been better if you had taken it from a lower viewpoint though, and if you didn't want to get down into the mud (understandable), then lying or crouching down on the jetty would have worked.
Other than that the composition works well, and I like the light in the lower half of the image. The over-exposure in the sky is a little unfortunate though, and using an ND grad filter would have helped you out in this regard.

Cheers,
Ben

Hello Ertugrul. Here is a sticky situation! The special light here is very nice indeed, and the subject very interesting. Thanks for showing us!

Ertugrul bonsoir.
C'est une photo qui joue très bien avec la lumière du matin et les reflets. L'embarcation échouée fait un beau graphisme et la jetée de pêcheurs au loin lui oppose un graphisme presque aérien.

Hello Ertugrul,
very well captured and composed shot here of a very nice combination of diagonal and horizontal lines. The fantastic and partial back-lighting is very well managed, the sharpness is perfect and the colours are nice and natural. Nice work, my Friend!
Tfs and have a nice WE!

Hi Parbo. I love this slice of reality from Surname River. Good close up and POV shows the muddy grave this once useful boat now finds itself. Another example of nature reclaiming things made by man! Good work. Murray.

Hello Ertugrul
It is a pity to see this abandoned boat which is well positioned and adds depth. The luminosity is pleasant and the water texture is well rendered.
I wish you and your family all the best ;)
See you soon on TE!
