Dutch pride

Took this picture on Queens day April 30 2009, that day which ended so sadly.

The huge flag flying proudly over the city of Hoorn.

Used perspective crop in Adobe portable CS3 to correct the slanted facades.

Prachtige foto Hans!
Ik vind dit een typisch Bert Haanstra-achtig beeld("'De stem van het water-1965""),hele mooie kleuren zoals je die alleen in Nederland ziet.
Topper!(nee niet die uit Moskou;]])

Haanstra fan jan

Nicely seen and taken Hans. It shows off the great colors of your flag, but also the Dutch architecture. Great cloudless blue sky behind .. clouds can be interesting, but I prefer cloudless for photos.
Good job my friend.

Hi Hans,

As is usual for you, the technical and artistic aspects of this shot are excellent. The architecture of the building is quite interesting too, and I find the window shutters particularly interesting. I like the reflection in the open shutter directly below the flag.

Hi Hans,
The wide angle made this shot so hyperrealistic! I could touch this flag. I like this unusual point of view and the crispy colors and the rendering of the crumpled fabric.
The Dutch proud is well depicted, here!
Bravo and have a nice weekend! Annie

Hi Hans, Yes, I heard about the sad day on the news. You certainly have captured the pride of the people of the Netherlands with this showing of the flag. Yes, It flies proudly!! I like that the flag is waving in the wind. Also, I find the Dutch architecture to be so charming with the details of the windows and brickwork. Nice job! :) Lisa

Hallo Hans,

Een prachtige manier om Nederland te laten zien.
De kleuren zijn geweldig, je kunt er niet omheen!
Heel mooi is de duidelijke doorzichtigheid van de vlag en de details in de vlag, heel mooi gedaan!

groetjes, Marga
