Hello Els,

You have created a wonderful 'old' postcard here! The border is superb!
Good pov and the railings create good f/g interest.
Good leading line, right through the tunnel and eventually reaching the all important spire!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Net echt ! Een hele mooi " reconstructie " Els hihi
Door het zo weer te geven versterk je, bij mij, inderdaad
dat het een om een kleine gemeenschap gaat.

Goed bekeken.
Groetjes

Hi Els
Just got back and it was a nice surprise to see this antique foto. Lovely POV that allows the reflections in the river, and the metal rail in the foreground is a beautiful side detail. I like that it is sharp and the sepia tone is very attractive

Hi Els,

I had to think of the little town of Balk, since I've been there before some times and it looks a bit similar. But as far as I know, it's not part of the 11 city journey. I'm not even sure if Balk has city rights... ;-)

Groeten! Dennis

What a wonderful way to treat this lovley image, Els. It could indeed been taken long ago. I like the rail in the foreground and the way the canal leads off to the bridge. I so enjoy all the wonderful places around the world, that one day I might see myself. Excellent.
Warm regards

Hello Els

Beautiful postcard.
he portrays a time well like this of 1930
already with the picture losing the colors, fading
with the action of the time.
Me love you to have a beautiful creativity
and to look for the borders of my picture
old, it was perfect, a good union.
Beautiful look of the channel, of the frame and work!
Thank you very much!!! Kisses....
Greetings!

Hello Els
What wonderful PP work.. I really like how you made the old frame then framed it again.. Nice idea! Love the look of the river! I love that we can share places I will never see in real life. Thank you for that!

Tricia

Thanks for the nice wishes yesterday.. today will be a tad calmer with only gardening to get finished. AND the last of the fall leaves to be bagged !!!!! But here I sit on TL!

I'm looking beyond the PP work here, Els, and I like the compo and the town itself. The mono-tone works nicely. I don't like the cracks you added, though... they just look too fake for me.
A thing you didn't do, apparently, is add additional grain with the noise tool. Grain imo is inherent with "old" shots, so I miss that here.
As for the frame: I remember the way prints were delivered in the sixties and before: with an irregularly "jagged" edge. If it's that what you wanted to make, I think it was a wrong choice to use a white backdrop - which has the same colour as the edge itself. I think it would be more authentic if you'd have used the colour of the outer frame...
Just my 2 cents, of course.

Hi Els,
Superb aging effect complimented by a creative border. The scene is well composed too with the canal creating a nice lead-in and appealing repeating lateral lines of the trees. Excellent work! tfs

Wonderful postcard with a modern frame. Provides a good example of how far photograph equipment has come in these decades.
