[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
They're not exactly poppies but the strong red color of those flowers nonetheless reminded me of them. I don't know how often they sell flowers on the Grand Place but it just shows you that it's still used a market square and not just a tourist attraction.

Nice idea for the PP!the red attracts immediately

Hello Philip !

Congratulation for your work on the colors ! You may have worked a lot. The only damagable thing to your picture is the machine in the background, but your black and white choice makes it disapear. It looks like an alive place.
Thanks for sharing !

the red is really a success with this buildings and b&w,
of course you 've couldn't done much about the wrecker on the top of the photo!

Bonjour Philipp,
une photo de cette Belgique qui se meurt, qui sera peut-être le prochain état à disparaitre, on eragrdera peut-être ces photos avec un oeil très nostalgique dans les années qui suivent.
Pour en revenir à la photo, extra !! L'excellente idée d'opposer les couleurs vives à un arrière plan b&w, rend la composition originale.
Le POV spécial contribue aussi à sortir la photo des rangs.
Best regards.

Fantastic constrast by the desaturation.
Maximum impact picture.

Hello Philipp,
nicely composed image with the desaturated technique to the red flowers fitting very well and adds much beauty to the composition!
I have a similar one in my gallery from my city,Thessaloniki :-)

Best wishes,
Thomas

gr8 composition....
Quite attractive one!!!

Hola, Philipp, love the combination of the BW and strong saturation of the flowers on the foreground. Just my personal opinion, unless it was your original intention, I would have cropped the crane out of the image, right above the head of the people. Nonetheless it is a very good image.
Cheers,
Enrique

Hi Philipp,

Seems you like desaturation:)

Very good colour of the flowers, so strong and clear is a great contrast to b/w background. Very good photo!

And of course the work of desaturation is very good.
Nice contrast too.

Hi Philip!
I like the combination of the B&W and the red colors. Very good composition, with the beautiful building in the background and the lot of lovely Geranium (one of my favorite flowers) in the foreground.
Thanks for sharing!
