Early morning at the port of Hoorn

An other view at th eport of Hoorn on the early morning of August 28th 2007. The first rays of the sun beacon on the front of the ancient houses at the docks of the port of Hoorn. The water surface isn't disturbed yet by boats nor wind.

Enjoy...

PP-work
Shot in RAW, rotated 0,5 degrees CW to level the verticals. Cropped (minor)adjusted contrast, brightness and saturation, resized, converted to JPEG sharpened, add frame and text.

For unkown reason I posted the uncorrected image in respect of adjusting the tilt. Piet posted a WS with the correct "attitude" :-) Thanks Piet!

:-) hij is prachtig Hans... het zachte ochtendlicht is echt... helemaal Hoorn...
Mooi!

Gr.,

Hi Hans

Lovely scene - very peaceful...
I think the frame's too large for the picture though - makes the actual photo ( the point of interest ) a bit small to see the details.
Regards
David

Weer een perfecte ansichtkaart die ik zou kopen en opsturen als ik daar op vakantie was.
Mooi uitzicht
Groetjes

Hi Hans - I am going to agree with WhiteKnight/David on this one.

There are some great features to the image - the tones, reflections and the tree on the left, for example. All good points and the scene itself is very pretty indeed.

But I think that thick frame has led to the image itself feeling cramped, everything too close together. And maybe the main tree is too central, plus it partially blocks that lovely building behind it. It may not have been possible, but if you could have moved to your right a bit, then more of that building could have been in view?

Pretty scene, lovely details, great colours - but the frame squezzes it too much, I think.

Hola Hans.
Una encantadora escena marina.
Bellos tonos mañaneros.
Un cordial saludo, JL:)

Hello Hans:)
Very interesting point of view. It is nice to see how is there and I like it. Good light and sharpness.
I think it is tilted a bit to the left... or I'm wrong?
Best Regards - Tom

Beautiful capture.
Lovely view.
But I get a bit dizzy looking at it.
I find it a bit tilted so I prepared a WS for you.
Excellent sharpness and details though.
Piet

Superb colors, reflections and low morning light.

I love the colours here but I must admit the tilt is off-putting -- I see you have made the mistake that many of us have made -- of posting "the wrong one" -- I do hope that you will repost??
I trust you are now over the flu (I give myself 48 hours more and I shall be back in fine fettle :D

Hello Hans,

An evening luminosity in sodium tone in the atmopshere is looking fabulous. Smart selection of view point. Beautifully taken image my friend, well done.

Thanks for sharing this shot.

Ditto all other remarks on the frame Hans, sorry. It is such an attractive image with good colour and some detail that would have been better seen in a larger format. Lovely reflections a a good light. TFS,

Indeed, Hans, it looks better with the tilt corrected ;o). Apart from that, I love it. The light is magnificent... and the compo you used reminds me of some of the old painters of the Golden Age...
Simply beautiful.
