[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
First passenger walks on Leonsberg Pier to boat for New Amsterdam, while enjoying his smoke in early morning.

Muddy Suriname river is at the peak of high-tide period just before low-tide starting. That is why boats are tied at left side of Leonsberg Pier. Suriname River flows from right (Paramaribo) to left (Atlantic Ocean) normally but you can see easily opposite direction of flow when high-tide started.

No post processing except converting from RAW and resizing etc., as same as every time.

Many cheers you to all,

PS. I posted a workshop version that includes cropped version of boots for to look more closer them.

Hey Ertugrul,

A superb photo, one comes to expect that of you. Great lighting and the watery wet view on the pier, it is really resonating, beautiful background with the mist. Perfect composition.

See you around.

Hi Ertugrul,
I rarely see such a high technical qualityy.the sharpness is amazing. Your equipment must be professional, with postprocessing you don´t get this result.

Ertugrul-

By placing this person into a very cliche photograph, you have made it your own.

Nicely done. I like the paper tucked under the arm, and the position of his arm.

Very well captured slice of life in Suriname.

Magnifique lumière, et jeu d'ombres intéressantes sur le promotoire.
Bel arrière plan qui se noye dans la brume.

Merhaba my friend Ertugrul,
This photo inspires a great peace and a sensation of calmness that I like much.
There is a good perspective in the pier and a good dynamism with this first passenger for the boat that is waiting.
The light of the morning early, the silver tones, and the calm and silent environment they give a great beauty to this composition, that is very well realized.
Nice work.
Best regards,
Josep

Hello Ertugrul


A radiant stage for a beautiful composition. Everything is so natural, as in the final one-day daily in the port.

Hues contrasted well with the sharpness and brightness of the same, excellent depth of field, and a large balance in the frame.

Olá Ertugrul,
uma imagem com vários significados essa, um homem caminhando solitário sempre rrende boas imagens e como sempre o grande rio presente em suas fotos. Fantástica o nevoeiro ao fundo.
Parabéns e Abraço!

Hi, Ertugrul.
Great shot: I like the composition, the lights and the atmosphere.
Regards
Renzo

Oi, Ertugrul
Linda composição, bem composta e enquadrada. A pessoa caminhando no pier em direção ao barco, dá vida a fotografia. A perspectiva lidera olhar em direção ao fundo. Lindas cores e reflexos. Well done. Consuelo

Hello Ertugrul,

A lovely photograph with a distinct early morning feeling!
The pov is well chosen using the off-cente quay as a leading line. The passenger gives human interest and f/g interest with the leading line linking him perfectly with his objective!
I do like the blue cast! It creates a feeling of chill and early morning freshness!

kind regards,
Bev :-)
Many thanks for your kind feedback on 'Trees in Waiting'.

Hello Ertugurl,
Very peacful image as we see the mornings first passenger calmly stroll down the pier just after the morning sunrise. The silver, blue and yellow colors work very well with the slight mist on the far bank of the distant bank of the mighty river.
Regards, Tom

bonsoir,

excellent composition avec un choix judicieux de l'heure de prise de vue

Hi Ertugrul, A wonderfully composed photo, the depth has been very well created &, the blue & red of the boat adds some welcomed colour, the man to the right is a great finishing touch, kind regards Wilson.

Merhaba Ertugrul,
It's too common praising the compo in any accomplished photo, but yours in general and this one in particular is truly special. I like the zigzagging 'visual path' of the pier, boat, place of the sun behind the thin cloud. There are also the bushes and the shining water on the FG, the candle lights the walking man and the river bank on the BG (did I miss anything? :-), all graciously placed. And that light!... It's a bit of a surprise finding that on this one you didn't use the warm colour balance that it is so common in your 'water posts'. Perhaps even more surprising is that the cold tones are as attractive as the warm ones on other posts.
Um abraço, José.

Hello Ertugrul,
nice shot with great perspective and POV and the lonely man to walking to the wooden pier in order to go on board..To suggest that the boat is one of these on the left? or no.The place looks very calmly as it;s early in the morning.Informative your note too.

Regards,Danos

Hello Ertugrul,
stunning quality in this shot. The man walking the pier and leading the eye towards the parked boat is well placed and makes the compo well balanced and bring in a nice feeling of peace and quite.
Good shot indeed!
Thanks for sharing it.

Igor

Hi Ertugrul, this is another simple but beautiful photo. Clear early morning light provides good atmosphere. I particularly like the vast expanse of water and the detail of the palm trees on the horizon. Good work! Regards,
Ryno

Hi Ertugrul, lovely shot that really captures the atmosphere of early morning. I really like the way the light reflects off the water and the boardwalk. Great sharpness too. I might maybe have cropped a little of that white area of the sky off the top as it's a tiny bit burned out, but then again maybe not as it shows the origin of the light on the water. Nice shot!
cheers

Hi Ertugrul,

A photograph from where arises a very pleasant atmosphere. I like much the light fog on the landscape at the horizon. Very good management of the light which gives pretty reftets as well on water as on the pontoon. Well seen Ertugrul, cheer. Thank you for the complementary photo.

With all my friendships and with soon,

Hi Ertugrul.
The colors here are amazing - bluish but in some way warm anyway!
I really like the composition too with the pedestrian on the jelly leading well into the picture.
Very beautiful and catching.

Hello Ertugrul,
I like a lot this shot for its composition, delicacy, soft light and colours. The perspective is great and thanks to the pier the sense of depth is very good.
Great one, my friend!

Hello Ertugrul. This shot is so pristine with a man walking along the pier. The resting boat and the horizon is just stunning. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful weekend. Jusni

Bonjour Ertugrul,
Très belle restituion de l'ambiance matinale dans une douce harmonie de bleus. Le POV est excellent avec l'embarcadère qui donne de la profondeur à l'image.
Le WS est suffisamment intéressant pour faire l'objet d'une publication séparée.
A bientôt sur TE pour de nouvelles aventures.
Gérard
