It's almost done...

It's the last week of April, approaching the end of the bulb field season, it's almost done. So that's why I post a colourful impression of the Dutch bulb fields near the village of Vogelenzang (Birdsong) in Noord-Holland. Took this picture last weekend during my photo shoot together with Jan Korbee.

If you want to see these colourful fields in Holland this year, be quick they are almost gone!

An amazing array of colours Hans and the graffiti on the old shed adds to the photo, the layers of colour extending all the way to the trees add to the great composition.

Zo mooi als de kleuren zijn. Voor mij maakt de schuur deze plaat. Hij doorbreekt de lijnen van het veld helemaal goed.

Groet Ben

Hi Hans

I like the horizontal stripes at the back, tending to diagonal stripes, at the front. Superb colour & saturation of the tulips, with good sharpness. The lone shed makes agood focal point. Happy Birthday, btw!

Goede morgen Hans.
Lekker kleurrijk tulpen veld.
Met de schuur er in een goede compositie.
De lucht had wat beter verdient. Ik denk dat ook hier het Polar filter goede diensten had bewezen.
In dit soort luchten zie je al snel de rode dotts (noise) door het blauw.
Kan jij je camera op vivid instellen ? Met ruis onderdrukking ?
Dat heb ik op de Olympus zo ingesteld.
Fijne zondag,
Jan

He Hans,

Tsja, bij jouw staan ze bijna in de achtertuin. Mooi hoor met dat blauw erbij. Zijn dat hyacinten?

Van de zwanen nog geen nieuws maar wel veel foto's.

Groet,

Henk

Je had het toch goed gezien Hans,de graffiti valt in de smaak ;]]
Ik denk dat ik een oud mannetje ben geworden,ok laat ik het zo zeggen...een prima foto,maar dan liever met een""schoon,blank huisje""hahahahahahaha!
Fijne zondag(mmmmmniet echt keukenhof weertje.)

Great shot Hans - the bands of colour through the frame are spectacular indeed. Great detail and sharpness. And the winning touch is the placement of that house/barn - perfectly in keeping with rule-of-thirds.

Hallo Hans,
Deze foto is een mooi afscheid van de 'bollen' 2009!
Ik kan de geur van de hyacinten bijna ruiken!
Mooie kleurrijke opname.
Groetjes,
Frieda.

Hello Hans,

A fine composition of these bulb fields which must be beautiful to see. I have never visited in spring!
The slight diagonal has a pleasing effect and the overall impression is one of a thick-textured woven fabric with a striped pattern.
I love it!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

er ontbreekt geen kleur !prachtig

Mooi, met het schuurtje als onderbreking. Goed gezien en vastgelegd Hans. En dan maar weer een jaartje wachten, dan begint het gewoon weer van voor af aan....

groetjes, willemien

Hi Hans,
A fabulous perspective of pastel colors, adorned with wonderful lighting!
The horizontal lines are giving impact to your capture!
The tulips are creating a sea of colors and the trees are serving as a horizon!
Great shot. Regards.

Hello Hans,
Gorgeous layers of tulip colors in diagonals. I certainly am enjoying the flower scenes from Netherlands this season. Regards...Danilo

Thanks to show us those beauties, us from north we appreciated very much. We just left the snow over here.
PS: Blue and pink view is exceptional.

Iso.

Yes I know - this tulip season doesn't last that long. Thanks to you and your Dutch friends, we've been able to get a great view of the fields through your shots.
Great horizontal stripes this time .. the little graffiti-ed shed is definitely the focal point in this one. Nice shot Hans.

Prachtige plaat weer hoor Hans!
Meestal fotografeer ik de rijen in de lengte voor een goede dieptewerking.
Die keren echter dat ik het zoals jij hier hebt vastgelegd mogen er ook zijn.
De verschillende lagen met kleurtjes èn het schuurtje natuurlijk(!) bevallen me heel goed.

Groet uit Renesse,
Adri

Hi Hans..nice shot...wonderful composition...great colors and details.

Hello,Hans,
A nice rug of flowers Imay say. It's cheerful.
It's so different when there's sun.

Hi Hans,

Nice and colofull landscape, I like the composition. Exposure, sharpness and DOF are good. A lower POV would have hide the green grass and the sand, however it would also had narrowed the higher band of tulips which is nice like it is now. I also like the increasing diagonals when looking at the foreground. It is a nice image that deserve a high score. TFS.

Note: I was tempted to try a WS to practice some cloning technic, I hope you won't mind.

Oh Hansie - it looks like a knitted woollen blanket - what a variety of colours. B E A U T I F U L
And it looks like I've left it too late to come on over this year - next year maybe!!
Janice

Oh no, don't quit Hans! I love this little series of yours! The lines are nice, leading your eyes across, the colors are beautiful! Even in HOLLAND the graffiti artists are defaming public property! HA! Wonderful colors all around!
B-)

Hi Hans,
Wonderful capture of this very vibrant field of flowers. Such a shame that they'll all be gone soon, but at least we can admire the photos all year round :). I love the little building to the left with the tagging on it, it's nicely composed. Great POV and the overcast sky keeps the focus on the colours. Well seen.

TFS,
Scott.

Very lovely Hans...great colour formation.

That is why I didnt see any tulips when I was there in Holland on 6th May last year... all over!..I only saw them wooden ones at Volendam at the store... probably imported from China.! LOL
Beautifully composed.

Have a great day

Hello,

quel graphisme de tulipes, ces couleurs, ces lignmées, c'est fantastique et merveilleux, très très belle image.

Bravo et amitié

Nicou

ciao Hans
these are wonderful fields.. where forms and colours create a sublime effect for the sight..
excellent beautiful composition! my compliments
ciao Marco

Hello Hans,
impressive shot,
The colors are simply great and varying,
And the light is also perfect,
Nice POV,
Good job,
Kind regards,
Vaibhav..

Hi Hans,
You are lucky to see this scene live, through the photo, it's just unbelivable. The colourful stripes of different flowers look amazing! It is like a huge flag on the field. Actually, I think it's a pity that this building with the graffiti is there in the middle, but I know you couldn't move it for the time of the expoure. :) Oherwise a beautiful, eye-catching capture! TFS!
Best regards,
Kristof
