The Herengracht, canal of the Lords, is the most prominent of the for main canals of Amsterdam that form a cirkel around the 17th century city. Here are the biggest and richest houses and also the biggest trees. Ulmus Hollandia is a tree that is planted along the canals since centuries. In the autumn it looks like the old town of Amsterdam is build in a forest.

Hola Gerrit,
una preciosidad de foto!!! el encuadre los colores son excelentes, al igual que el contraste de tonos y el enfoque son muy buenos.
saludos José

Hi Gerrit,
a warm sunlight in an autumnal city, that is the impression I see here. Good POV to take the canal with one boat driving and framing the canal with those natural colours. You are right, that reminds to a forest.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hallo Gerrit,
Diepe zware kleuren, maar dit keer heel erg goed gebracht. De contrasten zijn zwaar maar drukken nergens de foto dicht, of een piet lut zou rechts nog wat licht op de kade willen hebben. Mooi hoe dat bootje net een spoor trekt in het water, mooi detail.
Beste gedeelte is toch wel dat ligt links op de kade en bomen, het schijnt magisch op...heel mooi.
Groet, Henk

Hi Gerrit

Wonderful colour contrasts between the reds, yellows & greens of the Autumn foliage, against the blue grey sky. Good sharpness & the canal nicely bifurcates & divides the image. Tfs!

Hello Gerrit,
A very pretty perspective along this canal with lovely autumn tones. I like the light and shadow contrasts though I do find the bottom right of the image slightly too dark.

Hi Gerrit, contrast is indeed high here but the low light is magical and the view itself is splendid, I really like Amsterdam and this is another proof how beautiful the city is.

Cheers
Alexander

Beautiful fall colours! The trees with all there shades of yellow, orange and red make this a wonderful shot. I like the way you used the canal to divide the frame and provide us with a sense of direction. Well done!

Hi Gerrit,
This one is a precious composition, with a very nice frame, in that the autumns colors in the trees, the light of the evening, the canal and the boat that leaves its stela on the water, form a perfect scene.
It is a great work, very beautiful, my friend.
Best regards,
Josep

Good evening Gerrit,
This place is superb. In this gray sky, there nevertheless was an opening, by where the light passed and allowed you very beautiful photo.Belles colors of autumn and beautiful realization.
Have a good evening

Hello Gerrit,
very nice this Autumn scenery with this colourful trees in the both sides of the canal.The light of the sun that falls on the left side of the shore,bring out the details of the leafs of the trees.Excellent colours and light.A well managed shot Gerrit.

Have a nice weekend,Danos

Wonderful varied autumn colours in this shot. The light shining on the trees is great. The right bank is perhaps a little dark. Difficult to bring out detail in the shade though, I appreciate that. Nice work all the same,
Best wishes
Mark

Bonjour Gerrit
j'aime beaucoup la lumière ici et les couleurs d'automne qui donnent une belle photo. Le pont mériterait d'être un peu moins sombre. La texture de l'eau et ses couleurs au premier plan sont plaisantes également.
Xavier

Wat een kleurenpracht in hartje Amsterdam gerrit,met stip een van je beste fotoos!de boot is natuurlijk top.

Gerrit,
the composition with the bridge POV overlooking the Gracht and the boat forming that diagonal line in the water is very good. the colorful frame, at least at the left side, with those trees is gorgeous. Some PP to lighten up the right side would be something advisable. It seems to be to dark in that part of the shot.
Regards, Peter

There is a painting like quality to this image Gerrit. Lighting is very pleasant in this autumn canal scene. Greetings! Danilo

Hello Gerrit,
Very nice light conditions and a lot of autumnal feeling to this photo.It gives a very nice sense to me!

Amazing colours and light in this beautiful autumn composition.

Thanks and have a nice weekend

Dag, Gerrit. De foto is wel een beetje donker aan de rechterkant, maar dit creëert een gevoel van schemerlicht dat niet onaangenaam is. De bomen hebben wondermooie kleuren. Het perspectief is zeer goed en ik zie graag de toren die op de lucht uitkomt aan het einde van je perspectief.

Hello Gerrit
An interesting view over this canal which illustrates well your note with these attractive Ulmus Hollandia and their pleasant autumnal colors. A good sense of depth too!
Cheers
Marilyn

Dag Gerrit,

De herfst kleuren zijn royal aanwezig, dit mag duidelijk zijn.
Het licht onder de brug door zorg voor wat extra's, op deze manier kunnen wij de rimpels op het water zien die gemaakt worden door het bootjes.
Mocht misschien iets meer licht geven op de kade, maar voormij hoeft het werkelijk niet.

Prettig weekend,
John.

Olá Gerrit, superb autumn shot from Amsterdam. The colors on the trees are incredible, but the reflections on the canal and specially that bright line from the boat are very beautiful as well.
Have a nice weekend,
ricardo

Bonjour Gerrit,
un ciel pas des plus favorables, mais je te dirais que tu devrais acquérir l'un ou l'autre filtre qui permet de mieux exploiter ces conditions de lumières.
Des couleurs très fortes, presque trop fortes.
Un endroit bien chois pour montrer le charme des quartiers en bord de canal.
Best regards.
Daniel.

Bonjour Gerrit
C'est cette ambiance sombre qui donne tout son caractère à la réalisation.Un très beau cliché automnal le long de ce canal.
Bonne journée.
Amicalement
