Tableau magnifique à faire rêver,
Le ciel et ses tons de gris qui se reflettent dans l'eau et le moulin au loin en font une splendide composition

Bonjour Els
I love your approach to get a splendid view of the polders of your beautiful country, with its small waves on water. Finally, we see one side more rare sight of windmills, more wild. Though composed, with the separation of the two channels that separate and form an angle with the windmill near the centre in perspective. Very nice.
TFS, heartily,
Corinne

Hi Els
The Y for me is the eye catcher in your photo.
The reflection of the sun on water against contrasting colors of the grass, and the perfect sky, makes this a great shot.

Hoi Els,
Prachtige polderfoto; gààààf!!
De kleuren en de compositie zijn dik in orde.
De schittering van de zon op het gerimpelde water is heel mooi.
Groet uit Schouwen,

Hello My Friend,

I am amazed at how you manage to push back boundaries! This composition is both new and outstanding! I love how the shot has been so neatly divided into thirds, each portion needing careful scrutiny! Then, of course, the ubiquitous windmill takes pride of place and longest concentration.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hallo Els.
Echt Noord Hollands landschap en er staat ook nog een Hollandse wind. Kan die molen goed gebruiken, zeker ?
Groeten van Jan

Hello Els,I like your composition with the water channels creating some interesting lines, as well as catching the light.
The windmill in silhouette placed just off centre is perfect.
The sky is beautiful and adds to the shot.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Mooie compositie Els.
Die rimpels op het water maken het " levendig "
Zo stel ik me dus ook Nederland voor.

Eén " maar " : je POV een metertje-of-twee meer naar rechts
had waarschijnlijk meer impact gehad ...
'k Weet het : soms ben ik gewoon stout
:-)

Ook raar : je fotografeert met een 18-80mm
en de foto is gemaakt met een 16mm volgens
" more photo info "
't Ja, daar zal ik dan ook maar niet meer de mosterd halen
om te weten hoe een foto getrokken is.

Goed van je dat je het camera-heft in eigen handen neemt !

Begin al maar te puffen want het gaat warm worden !

Groetjes

Jan

Met die f/22 heb je een gigantische scherptediepte gekregen, Els, en toch nog snel genoeg om de beek te bevriezen. Mooi licht in dit shot, nog wel een klein beetje onderbelicht maar dat vind ik net mooi.
Tja, ik heb geen liveview, maar mis het voorlopig nog niet.

Hi Els
the perspective in this photo is very eye catching, each section divided by the water and each with its own distinct elemnts.
Color and detail well done.
I haven't been able to look much and likely not back again till sept, see you now have a Alpha 350, I picked up the Alpha 200 (for minolta lens I have) and kept my DSCR1, how do you like your camera?

helloEls !

Different and original despite the distance of the windmill. The main interest is indeed this Y shape. I like the graphism in this landscape. Seems it was a windy day looking at the water surface in the ditch.

Well seen and presented!

Very good capture to show the flow with the ripple and the T-junction is very interesting composition in diagonal. I like the windmill at far end. Very stylish pov.

Hello Els

Charmed with such beauty!
In the two ways that you had in your mind, in working
with the light front and bottom in the mills, it would be
blinding.
Beautiful landscape, pleasant atmosphere, calm place
and the soft colors enchant this whole place.
Congratulations, sensational!!

Composition, composition, composition is the name of this game. All three composition elements are her, foreground, midground and background. Then you add color, clarity, POV, DOF, rule of thirds and this image is spelled quality.

Superb POV, Els!
I like the geometric plans alternating with blue and green colors. There is very nice gleams on the water and you captured them very well. The windmill and houses at the horizon seem to be an haven of peace where the life must be good!
Bravo! Annie

I really like the Y here Els and how you have used it to portion the image. The blues and greens do indeed make a lovley peaceful feeling and the gleaming water is a good choice for the sun light. Of course I like the windmill in the background. Really well done with good choices for your speed.
Warm Regards

Hoi Els,

Heel mooi met die splitsing op de voorgrond en het weiland en molen daar tussen gevangen. Beetje donker in het gras op de rechterkant, maar wel een hele mooie plaat.

Groetjes en een prettig weekend,

Beautiful glisting silver blue colors seen glistening in the riffling incoming tide.

Hi Elsie,
Beautiful landscape with the oh-so-Dutch windmill and the rivercross, great exposure and late afternoon colors (I guess they are...). Perfect image, both visually and technically. Although sky became a little bit grainy (ISO 400?), but it's a minor problem. Congrats for the capture, and of course, tfs.
Have a nice day, regards from Hungary, László

Hoi Els,
Op een of andere manier is dit een bekende plek. Ik heb vast en zeker ergens een foto gezien van dit landschap en de molen.
Je positie voor deze foto is erg mooi. het gaf je een leuke effect op de verschillende diagonalen. De reflecterende zon geeft deze donkere dag toch nog net wat extra licht. Het detail en de belichting zijn perfect.
Groeten,
Niek
