John I do like this shot of Delft, and just a tad bit different from Vermeer's painting(!).
It's a good composition, the colours are excellent as is your sharpness. I like the look of the shiny waters too, taking on the trees and sky's colours.
Very well done, thank you from NZ.

Very nice postcard from Delf and you are right the view had not changed much in 400 years. Nice composition and the boat adds a lot to it. Very nice reproduction of Vermeer painting. Well done!!!

P.S. Thanks for doing this for me...

Hi John, it is always difficult to fill the shoes of the master... But you are putting in a good effort to give us the history of your great country...

Hi John,

Nice panorama of Delft.
It is more Ïn the swimming suit of JvA instead of the footsteps of JvM.
I like the boat the most
It looks a bit dark and you cut of the masttop. Vermeer painted also the nice cloudy sky!

Good job John, you will become an Art expert.
Looking forward to the next "painting spot" of a Dutch master.

Now you made me spend an hour on looking at Vermeer's paintings. I must admit I was not too familiar with his work. At least I know the "Girl with the pearl earing". I'm a Van Gogh fan.(The impressionists are my favourite) But this painting of Vermeer is amazing. I know it is suppose to be the Baroque era but I see a bit of impressionism here.

The photo is great. The colours are so nice. Very much like that of the painting. you just need those dark clouds now. Excellent!!!

Hello John, very well done, I looked at Vermeer's version, and you did pretty well, you did come very close and with respect with Vermeer's pov.

Great work!

Take care, Yan ;)

Mooie foto van Delft...een prachtige stad, één van de mooiste van ons land. Ben blij om te lezen dat ook een liefhebber bent van Vermeer, net als mij.
Alleen dat er geen mooie luchten zijn zoals vanniddag dan wast het echt een plaatje geweest.

Het geweldige zeegezicht, goed samengestelde en ondanks het mooie weer kleurt (humeurige, maar mooie). De mooie scène van een mooi land! Uw Griekse vriend, Vassilis

Dear John,
Do you know why the Dutch have more painters than composers? That’s is because of the Dutch landscape and cloudy sky. You stepped from our golden age to the digital age. And you fit in directly with the same kind of images. You picked the right sphere and colors.
In principle it doesn’t matter if it comes from the pallet or CCD.

Hi John , great idea,very creative,I looked up Johannes Vermeer up on the internet to compare. Lucky yo to be able to visit the places he painted. I also agree with Josine, nice of you to send people to someone else's page. Good for you.!

So you stood where the great Johannes Vermeer stood. That must have been an emotinal photo for you to compose.....
What I find so attractive about this photo is the bright, small flags attached to the masting of the ship....somehow it just makes the composition. I also like the bright reds in the photo.
Johannes would be proud to see your composition, John. A HUGE well done from me!!!! Excellent!!!!......:o)
