"Dreaming of Vermeer"

Thanks in advance for taking the time. Appreciate all feedback.

Nice shot. It's good that some of the reflections are visible enough in the water, it balances the composition a bit more. The blur works, in this case.

Beautiful!

7/6

Is this at Kinderdijk? To my taste the reddish sunset, or sunrise, color is a bit too saturated. Landscapes in Holland usually have matter colors. As a photo it's very beautiful though.

Nice composition and lighting!!

very nice soft image and dedication at the great painter Vermer!!!!!

I can see why the people of the Netherlands have nominated you their national photographer. I think this is one of your best! The gold tones and the reflections are just super. I also like the soft blur, it seems to glow and I love that! Dreaming is right! Beautiful, just beautiful! I'm sorry I missed this in May. I will have to go back soon!

The sharp upright blades in opposition to the smooth space do it. RE

For sure Vermer would have liked this image. I find the composition and colors to be rather warming and full of love for life. Well done.

Very good picture, nice colors, congratulations...

I love the dreamy look!

I like how the reflections of the mills have been reduced to a single line, in direct contrast to the softness of the rest of the image.

Nice colors and composition, but the vanes are either blurred too much or not enough. They should IMO be either tack sharp or blurred enough to definitely imply movement.

Beautiful and gives motion. GJ Wilson 7/6

superb shot.

Lovely. A study in golden tones and softness with very nice composition. I need to add this type of shot to my portfolio.

Delicate light and soothing tones, wonderful!

Apart from the yellow glow and the blurryness it's a mediocre shot IMO.

Well done Wilson.

Very well done.

Great work, Wilson! the light is outstanding!!

 

Cheers, allon.

Thank you all so far for your feedback. Appreciate them all.

 

Sam: Although I witnessed some subtle, mellow sunsets there, I also saw some spectacular sunsets in that environ as well. For this shot, I adjusted the camera's white balance on purpose to yield a warm, orange color cast.

 

Chris: Thanks for your input. BTW, is that glass of water half-full, or half-empty for you? ^_^

 

3/2 Rater: Would appreciate your comment and/or suggestion. Care to share?

Yes, very Vermeer! :-) I like the dreamy quality here, Wilson. The colors in the sky & reflections in the water are great ... and the windmills truly make for interesting compositions, don't they?

Yes Wilson, all qualities of this picture are great. You have taken an excelent reflection picture again.
