Hi John,

I've seen that kind of wooden bridge at Jakarta few weeks ago . . Dutch left this kind of architecture for us, and people use it lately for pre-wedding . .
I should capture it one day . . and share it with you . .
Lovely scene here . . Beautiful composition with all those reflections . .

Tfs,
Tjutjut

Wow! hihi!

What can I say, Frere, more then thank you so much for the nice welcoming dedication, this is so sweet of you! And a beautiful image from Holland which is on our wishlist to visit some day!
A nice lead-in canal, good perspective to lead Ben in TL :) The sky is very nice and so are the reflections.

Thank you very much and as soon as Ben wakes up, I will tell him, he's been working all night. He works mostly night shifts as you know.

And thank you to all of you of TL for the nice welcome :)

Have a great day! Soeur :))
xoxo

hi John

Holland is world famous for the canals and bridges. A shot like this means home for you but it means something new and interesting to us from Malaysia. Canals, windmills!

Nice way to present your country.

Hi John,

Very beautiful welcome message for Ben, as usual you have nice and encouraging words for new TL members.
The photo looks very dutch, with typical architecture of the houses in the warm light and the canal as a leading line is very well placed in your composition. Also excellent POV and colours. TFS

Have a nice evening,

Tja, Leiden hebben we verleden jaar gemist en dat zal ik toch een keertje moeten inhalen, John ;o). Mooi gezichtspunt koos je hier, en technisch best goed in alle aspecten. Maar, je kent me, toch enkele opmerkingen: ik zou die ene halve centimeter rechts, met die ene hoge gevel, hebben weggecropt. Die springt er wat te erg uit, of misschien ook wel niet erg genoeg, wegens te smal. Enfin, je snapt me wel ;o). En nog eentje: f4 ? Ik zou hier snelheid hebben laten vallen ten gunste van dieptescherpte, met toch minstens een f8 of f10.
Maar da's natuurlijk allemaal "dingo's muggenzifterij" hé, dus zeker niet van wakker liggen ;o)

Hi John !
this is an interesting and engaging POV - excellent use of line of the canal edge on the right.
Personally though, I think the image itself could have been sharper.
