Typical Dutch Spring

This is the result of some messing around with Photoshop. The photo

consists of 12 different manually stitched shots: 3 of the sky above

Burgervlotbrug, 5 of the panorama with the mill in Berkmeer, and 4 of

the tulip field near Egmond aan den Hoef, Netherlands. The colors of

the tulips were row-by-row changed to get this kaleidoscope. I am

aware that the result could be totally over the top. Shots were done

with KonicaMinolta Dimage A2.

Verry nice shot, and fine color.

A lot of hard work pays off, You have created a great piece of work jere Jaap, well done!

good color..

i like this...

I like it too. My only criticism is that the mill seems to be oversharpened compared to the local trees/shrub.

Excelente explocion de colores, y una magnifica composicion desde el encuadre a la luz. Saludos cordialeshttp://perso.wanadoo.es/cruzvera/varios/Pedrito%20GIF%20bueno.gif

very beautiful..nice work.

Great shot, this would be a great poster for the tourist office or for the cover of some travel magazine. It is very inviting. I would love to be there and look at those beautiful tulips with my own eyes...

Jaap, My but you mess around beautifully, terrific work.....Jim

Superb spread of colors and beautiful composition,Jaap.

well done, congratulations Jaap a very beautiful composition, ciao Giangiorgio

Simplemente magnifica,,,,,,,,,,, perfecto encuadre, lineas de luz y color, gran trabajo Jaap. un cordial saludo.

Great job in creating this picture. It works wonderfully! The best part in this picture is the colors. Goob job Jaap!

In een adem, fantastisch Jaap !!

Prachtige lucht en schitterende kleuren.

'n lust voor het oog.

Bedankt.

 

Jaap . the colours are like in a painting, nearly not natural, but they are, I know... You are welcome to look at my Tulips folder, cheers , groeten jana

Helllo,

 

Amazing colors i see here. The perspective is nice because it drives my eyes in to the photo. I like that picture.

Hoi Jaap, this is great!!!

Colors are amazing, lighting in the windmill is perfect and the typical Dutch clouds make this image a postcard!!!

I guess this is Noord Holland province, right?

 

For me the main tip off of manipulation is the clouds, they seem to loom inches behind the horizon and windmill. Still, accepting this as a composition of separate images: very nicely done, a striking and iconic image. The multi-color tulip spokes work well.

I knew in an instant that this was one of yours, which is surely the mark of consistant quality. You have created a beautiful scene here. This makes me feel good but at the same time a world of conflict and uglyness that lies beyond here is also on my mind. People should make more art and less war.

It really looks very artifical to me - as soon as I opened the image. You mentioned the process - good work, but again, does nit feel natural at all

This is amazing! Love the colors and the perspective (how the rows lead you right to the windmill).

An absolutly Brilliant image. Great leading lines, color, clouds scene... Bravo!

Just wonderful. The colours are great. I love it!

I like the composition, with lines of tulips leading to the mill and the mill pointing to the clouds. I'm not a fan of such unrealistic colors, but to each his own.

AWESOME! Very nice work!
