Impressive work. Very artistic.

It could be the particular color yellow, or possibly the woman's attire, but your photo conveys a touch of a contemporary Vermeer feeling to me -- I like your square crop of this, which really does justice to the composition's setting, imo. Very nice, Gunnar!  

Just wonderful, Gunnar, it feels like something out of the world of Vermeer. The clarity of the light and purity of the color is astounding.

A wonderful composed scene in perfect timing. Your post treatment has turned this into nearly an old oil painting. Excellent......again! Take good care my friend and all the best from Jannica

It really looks like a Vermeer painting Gunnar.

The warm light the clarity and the unforced pose of the woman create an excellent scene.....

You managed to create a very classic Dutch painting mood on this one by colors and low luminosity level. I almost can smell the oils oozing from your wonderful work. Could this be shot in Old Town Tallinn?

Include me with those who have previously commented on the painterly quality and comparisons to Vermeer.  Beautiful! Compliments! ~~~~~~L

Thank you so much for your kind words my friends. Markku, this is taken on Town Hall Square (Raekoja plats) in Tallinn where restaurants waitresses are dressed on medieval style. Best regards.

Thanks for the info. I think it's the same restaurant I have visited twice so far. Sorry, can't remember the name and don't have a map near me...

Hi Gunnar, the world of Vermeer, yes, could not be called better. Fantastic shot. Best, Vadim

Double underline all comments above and add: it is an Vermeer! Compliments!

hi gunnar,very poetic, attention to details, would look nice in a gallery somewhere in my opinion anyway........... take care samme

Marjolein tried to find the bottom why Vermeer directly comes into mind. I agree on the colour theme and on the pose including the way she is dressed. What I like most here is the tender hand, the tone of the skin there and the white of cloth in her hand, but also on the head cloth, may be the missing hard shadows...

A picture to look to much longer then the few seconds -  it asks for viewing and taking the time which it deserves.

Walks into my favourites.

Regards Axel

El mentioned it first...before I saw her comment and I saw the picture I had the same thought...Vermeer. Well seen Gunnar.

Really beautiful work, Gunnar!

Beautiful composition, excellent pictorical color. Congrats.

Composition is great, shine off the otherwise pitch black window grating, all perspective lines go to top right corner: wonderful crop. And the colours are just all the warm earth tones of the old Dutch masters. It will always be impossible to date this photo and that is its greatest quality - timeless. Congratulations!

Wonderful exemple of..."Flemish" image:...really wonderful, my friend!

I join the rest, as I have done a research of Vermeer's art ,and have staged a series as a homage to his work. I can appreciate that beauty of a composition.

The window light was a very well used light in his work, I wonder where is the source of light here, as this  window is black.  Well executed

( If you are interested  , take a look at the presentation  on my front page : "Follow the light")

Thank you all for your nice comments! Pnina, your galleries are very strong with excellent Vermeer-like use of light from window. This scene is an out-door one. The street restoran is open for summer season and the open-air day light was used. Best regards.

Stands out instantly as a likeness to Vermeer's work, not only the costume but also the tones and colouring...Bravo..well done Gunnar!

A step back in time. I agree with everybody above. A wonderful work Gunnar!

Wow... great!

I have come across this photo jewel several times , and finding some time to comment on it, I was left without arguments for a creative appraisal of such a fine specimen in the field of street photography. The scene is attractive on its own, but it is elevated to stardom only due to the  mind behind the camera. I  couldn't agree more with  the Vermeer comments, it is far too obvious; I would just add that this impression is greately owed to the compressed perspective that is also evident in the ouevres of the Flemmish master. The almost cut-out waitress'  figure  and the perspective highlighted by the benches give-along with the painterly palette, an  aura that is mesmerizingly  captivating. My humble compliments  and respectful regards.
