Window shopping in Rouen

Last weekend in Rouen (France). Changed Nancy for Rouen and she is beautiful too! :-) Just a shot of a window were Faïences is sold. I couldn't resist to make a picture of this wonderfull pottery together with the nice blue front of the shop and the warm light of the lamps inside. Well this is how it worked out.

En heel soms wordt Hans verstandig - gewoon even relaxen - window shoppen en na al die lange notes even de vingers uit laten rusten.
Very cosy - very french - very nice.

Good morning Hans

Beautiful composition here, I love the way you vary your choice of subjects and postings. Superb framing accentuates the image perfectly.

TFS regards Helen

Hello Hans :o)
I'm happy to see a little of Rouen here :o) Very nice shot of this window ... lovely colours as I like (golden and blue ... humm !). Rouen is as nice as Nancy, I confirm :o) TFS

tres belle présentation Hans . J'aime beaucoup la composition de votre photo .

Can I put in an order for some items please Hans? So next time you go there you could pick them up for me, please...
It looks very welcoming shop window - and the pottery does look quite attractive.
I'm not too sure about your frame - there are now too many blues clashing - the 2 blue colours of the shop are enough.
But thanks for sharing. . .
Cheers
Janice

Superb colours, perfectly chosen frame!
Wish I'd thought of using the colours of the image to form the frame!
Excellent

Bonjour Hans
an crockery shop (so expensive ;OD) of Rouen, you could be side of the district Saint Ouen, district pedestrian. If like Marylou, I like much the association of the two colors, I congratulate you for your frame which gives the impression of a prolongation in 3d of your photography.
I noticed that you changed here your presentation of your copyright, that made very "pro", I like but a touch of size in more would be perfect with my taste.
With soon my friend Hans of Normandy.

Hello Hans,

A brilliant image has been composed. Nicely framed and well placed subject. Excellent luminar controls in fine details. Well done.

Thanks for sharing this picture.

Ahhh out shopping for me huh Mr Baron??? I like this! Nice shot, LOVE the blue framing around the China! Lovely colors and amber lighting!
B-)

Very nice capture. Good composition.
But I feel (IMHO) the frame could have been a different color (black or white). The main image blends in too much with the frame.
Hey, but what do I know :-).

Zoek maar een mooi souvenier uit Hans.
Mooie registratie.

Beautiful presented picture, Hans.
Excellent framing, maar waarom niet echt in de midden ?
Ok, valt wat voor te zeggen dat 26 part of the picture is.
Groeten, Jan

Cheers

:) later

PS: thanks for the comment on 'Funny Mirror Al' - I hope I survive it once he sees his picture on the worldwide internet!

Hi Hans,

Very nice capture. Oh, I want to go back to Europe and just travel around for some months!!! :-) Not centering the display and adding the number to the left works well. Great contrast and a lot to see.
But the frame... Wasn't there enough blue already?! I would have gone for a simple white frame (or a very soft blue), because the big blue frame doesn't make it easier to focus on your picture! But still a nice shot! :-)

Have a good weekend!
Dennis

He Hans,

Mooi, het wordt steeds artistieker.
Misschien had je een beetje de vertekening in PS moeten corrigeren om alle lijnen recht te krijgen. Maar jij kunt wel een potje breken op de trek.

Goed weekend,

Hendrik
