I wish the fishing boat was a little closer...

After painting these Saa paper hand-made umbrellas are drying in the

sun.

Hoi Theo, I appreciate your greening trial, but I'm afraid that it's not exactly as my camera (auto white balance) saw it. I agree that I did some PS on the photo, but only used levels, USM and contrast. No color change was applied. In the early hour the photo was taken, the sun had just risen above the trees at the left and hit the floating cabins and the mist rising from the water.

I know, the sky is a bit blown...

A little noisy

Too small

Too big

Hoi Mebeline. Indrukwekkende foto. Mooi met die mist tussen de bomen. Lijkt wel wat op mijn foto's van vorig jaar. Zie mijn portfolio.

Groet, Huub

Thanks in advance for your response.

What do you think...?

These umbrellas are handmade from paper made from the saa

tree in small factories in Thailand. After painting they are dried

in the sun.

Impressive formation. Well done

Minimalistic. Any suggestions???

A second photo of last Sunday's visit to the Maasvlakte. It's

actually a ca. 50% crop of a full frame. Saturation was a bit less

than on "Nothing out there", as I got some complaints about the

greens. The geese flew in from 'elsewhere', but I feel they make a

nice subject so that this photo is a little less empty than the

previous one.

I like the almost square format and the monotone color. The diagonal gorges (?) make this an excellent composition. The only problem I have is the scale. It's hard to see what the size of the structure is.... Please rate my latest: Maasvlakte. Thanks

A Sunday morning in December on the Dutch coast. It was cold and

windy with occasional showers. True, there is no real main subject,

just emptyness. Nobody was weird enough to walk there, except me of

course. This was shot on the Maasvlakte, reclaimed land from the sea.

This windmill at the border of the city of Leiden is for three

quarters surrounded by houses. This is the only unobstructed view

into the "polder". My portfolio has two other photos of the same

windmill in a completely different setting. Thanks for you critique!

Hi, First :-) Nice sunset! Good colors. Next :-( The horizon is tilted. The main subjects are smack in the center. that's a little boring. The chimneys are a bit distracting. Keep up the good work and be mild in your rating of other photos!

Just a snapshot. Farah is a VERY agile Dutch Shepherd! Here she

jumps out of the water to catch some waterdrops thrown up by my wife.

During the summer months barnacle geese breed and fourage on the

Scandinavian and Siberian coasts. In the autumn they migrate south

and stay as winter guests in Holland. This photo was taken at

the "Valkenburgsemeer", a small lake near the city of Leiden in the

Netherlands.

Hoi Doeke, Very nice indeed. Not the regular view of Ayers Rock and also nicely lit from the side, bringing out the shape and contrasts better! Pity the details of the panorama cannot be seen upon compression. Well done. Please rate my latest "Dutch Moors", or any other photo in my portfolio. Thanks

Razor sharp! The droplet works like a microscope. Curious what the brown stuff might be. Congratulations on a photo very well executed. Please rate one of mine ;-)
