Dutch Landscape...

Yesterday I went to Ron and Anneke [Ejtaan] for Rob's 50th birthday party...

I couldn't stand to leave the Dutch landscape there without making some pictures, so I arrive later as promissed. Sorry Annie, but it was a great party, I really enjoyed it!

Anyway this is my posting of today.....

The cows don't need no explanation, nor the sheep. In the distance you se a heron together with another bird (crow?) in the Map:[view] feature you can find the exact spot were this pictere was taken. Although there might be some doubt regarding the birds, far, anoying or even smudge; in the WS you will find the sequence in time of the picture before and after this shot....so no smudge; I didn't cleaned my lens between those shots (Dirty baron :)

Today Sweety helped me to make the “choice-of the-day” my dear Kiwi chose this picture and the other one (she had a one out of two choice other wise it would take too long to take a decision :)

So this is the verdict from New Zealand; the Queen of the Universe aka Sweety or Puffy :

Green Baron zegt:
Which picture do you prefer...for today!
Green Baron verzendt:

Queen of the Univers zegt:
ummm.. what can I choose from?
Green Baron zegt:
or....
Green Baron verzendt

Green Baron zegt:
let me know ...it;
Green Baron zegt:
it's your choise...
Queen of the Univers zegt:
no worries...
Queen of the Univers zegt:
wooo... so kool!!!! I get to choose today...

De overdracht van "Typical Dutch.jpg" is voltooid.

Queen of the Univers zegt:
Nice nice...

De overdracht van "Dutch Landscape.JPG" is voltooid.

Queen of the Univers zegt:
I like the Dutch Landscape...
Queen of the Univers zegt:
it popup to me more then the other one,
Queen of the Univers zegt:
still I like both...
Queen of the Univers zegt:
does the Dutch's cow taste nice?
Green Baron zegt:
OK that will be it! giving you the credits!
Queen of the Univers zegt:
hehehehe... I like that one...
Queen of the Univers zegt:
hahahahha, kool! thanks for that I’m happy with it!



PP-talk: No smudge on the lens...straightened horizon, increased saturation (+20), adjusted colour tones and levels. Framed and add text and finally asked Sweety if it is OK...and she blessed it :)

Hahahaha... gosh, Hans... You put our conversation in there too...hahahhahaa.... yes, I like this one very much, I think the colours that have created the mood here to attract me to make the choice. :D The mood and atmosphere here are so great, just so refreshing, with those cows and the colours of summer... everything just look perfect. Wonderful captured my dear Hans, and thank you for letting me choose your photo today, I am honor. :D

Take care and have a wonderful nite.

Sweety

Bonjour Hans
Très jolie scène de la campagne.Le premier plan est très agréable dans la composition.
Bravo et bonne journée.
Cordialement
Gildas

Hi Hans,

Nice landscape shot. This could almost be a scene from where I live.
Wonderful composition. I just feel that the birds flying around disturbs the scene a bit.

Cheers,

Beautiful and colorful landscape, with those brown and white cows on the intense green meadow. I like that row of trees and the slightly misty horizon.

TFS,

Andreea

Haha! She chose well! She has a great eye for a good shot.

Good colours and textbook composition Hans, this shot works - although the birds(?) wheeling over the central horizon look more like a smudge on the lens, unfortunately.

Nevertheless ... I like it! My congratulations to you ... and regards to Sweety. :)

HI Hans, so you have been chatting to our Sweety. And she's your coach too!!
Bright pic - maybe some of those cows are a bit OE, but that shouldn't affect their milk though!!
Nice views in the 3 pics, and much flatter than NZ.

Hi Hans
A superb view and the very nice photograph. Yesterday I went in quest such views. Unfortunately more and more less of cows is on fields. Okay, at least on TL it is possible still to see it.

Ummm nearly as good as the KIWI cows.. did Sweety tell you that ?..nearly as good looking as ours...

Nice colours here Hans, very restful shot.. just one thing, I would have cloned out that stick thing..there on the left, a bit distracting.

Thanks for sharing dear Hans
Hope your weekend went well.

Dawn.

Dang!! Looks like Texas Dude!! Love the poeme/song that was written for you! I will be out scaring some cows today! Nice shot Hans!

Great landscape capture, Hans. I like all the horizontal lines of the green in the foreground, the cows the flowers, more greens, the sheeps and the trees in the background. Great colors. Well done. TFS

Looks like a hot day!
