[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is another one taken during the TL meet in the LowLands; Ann & I hopped over to Holland for the week-end, to continue our meet with Yolanda, Vandana, Tanya, John and Vassili.
I have to pay my humble respects to John, as everything was impeccably organised!

This is one of many beautiful street scenes in Madurodam. These maquettes are really outstanding miniature representations of the real buildings. Even the vegetation is kept as small as possible.

Take a look at Madurodam's website, it has an English version too.

Tech talk

Straightened and a bit of croppity-crop.

Levels, shadows & highlights - my standard toolset.

Downsized in a couple of steps and framed with two home-cooked ps actions.

Hello Frank,
Nice to see Madurodam photo.
It looks very real. You could've easily cropped out those human figures at the back.
Happy new year to you and Ann.
Vandana

Hi Frank :)
this is a very nice photo, just by cropping i have 2-3 remarks: down you left a dark peace of something and you cut above tower. On left side you could also 1 mm cut off.
What do you mean?
I like a peaceful reflection on the water.

And,I read yours intro and I agree with you accomplished.
Nice regards,
Tanja

Hi Frank,

en dan vermoed je al dat je naar Madurodam kijkt, en toch moet je nog 2x opnieuw kijken.
Echt fantastische foto.

Hi Frank

Nicely captured and well composed.
I agree with Vandana, maybe cloaning the legs out.

Cheers

ongelooflijk prachtig dat miniatuurstadje! Zeer mooie en
scherpe weergave!

" Net echt " !
( al mogen er dan geen reuzen op de achtergrond lopen )
Mooi van scherpte en belichting.
Ook mooi is de reflectie van de huizen.

TFS Frank,
Groetjes
Jan

Hello Frank,

Your photo is a pleasure to remember this beautiful place, Madurodam, which we visited last year. I made there a lot of photos with my child, as Gulliver in the miniature park.

Your composition is beautiful, excelent POV, colors and details of the buildings. TFS

Best regards,
Sorina

Hi Frank,

I like a lot this little world, good POV. I would crop a little the top cutting out the tourists.

Very cool shot and nice effect on it. It looks like you used a tilt shift effect as the buildings look almost fake or like a small model. Nicely seen, tfs.

Hej Frank,
Great view of this little canal in Madurodam. You also captured some nice reflections in the calm water and the sunlight is very attractive. Well done!
Regards,
Lars

Hallo Frank,

In Madurodam kun je, heel Nederland fotograferen, maar er verschijnen som wel een paar benen op de verkeerde plek en Brugge is het zeker niet :- ))

Groet Rob

Hi Frank,

Nice and colourful evening shot. Very good lighting management and balanced contrast. Well captured and composed. Excellent work
Georg

Very sharp and nice colors. But indeed if you crop off the top it would look real. But then you are showing people what you take so both ways are fine.
Nice reflection btw
Cheers
David
