For some reasons I find this picture fascinating. Perhaps because the rare combination of a minimalistic composition and very strong leading lines. Good colors too. The sky could be a bit less noisy, but it's a detail

Excellent, works as an humorous picture and works as an architectural composition.

Very strong image. There is strangely a feeling of motion here - something unexpected with that good old subject.

Sublime composition creating a link with water between the two only coloured things in the image.

Everything seems transient here - even the water between two shapes of ice. 

Thanks Peter, 

I tried a B&W indeed, it was graphically very interesting, but I found that someting was missing - less subtlety. 

Perhaps, my B&W was not good enough and I just have to try again...

Very impressive, you made a superb job.

Excellent Ruud, like others in your portfolio - you're still looking for funny scenes of every day, that most of us don't even see. Regards.

Thanks Peter, appreciated.

Pure, simple, balanced, beautiful.

Classical but very well done, the light is particularly subtle. I like also how you managed to obtain both an horizon and a foreground interesting. A delight for the eye.

I like this one a lot. It could be *only* a good architecture shot, but your added story and humor adds so much. It's also nicely composed, and well converted in B&W.

I prefer the cropped version for the composition: classical, better blanced than your previous version. 

Not sure about the crossprocessing, making her hair and eyes slightmly oversaturated.

Superb use of all the lines, texture and shadows combining for an elegant composition.

Stone Town ?

A bit more contrast and sharpness needed in my opinion.

And the two big sensor dusts on left side are very distracting.

Fine light though

great composition - I particularly like the use of the DOF, blurred foreground, sharp background - emphasizing the break where your subject is sitting. Excellent toning too. 

Thanks Alain,

The background is "natural" (it's a part of the stage set - other pictures of this parade here

You're right about the sharpening and saturation - I tried to fix it:

Superb capture between landscape and abstract, congrats !

Intriguant, intéressant et joliment composé. beau titre aussi pour cette image vraiment hors des sentiers battus.

Magnifique image, dont tant la douceur de la lumière que l'équilibre dans la composition sont remarquables. un tout petit regret pour le bidon rouge dans le coin inférieur droit, attirant un peu trop le regard ( à désaturer légèrement peut-etre)

Clever composition
