Excellent one, Hans -- I think I will post my version of this too :)
Great poV and fabulous colours

Hans,
LTNS!
I like the contrasting colors here. I wonder how much they cost to rent?
As always, the focus is great and the composition is professional. I think how they are built on the bottom of a hillside is very neat.
I am not sure how you could improve this image. It's very eye-catching.
Have you thought about B&W with selective color?
Scott

Bonsoir Hans
Un bel assemblage de couleurs vives devant cet arrière plan naturel.Une composition soignée et une exposition bien ajustée.
Bonne soirée

Hi Hans,

I must admit, I have never seen huts such as this. The colors are so bright. I like your nice close view showing details of the huts. Nice including the contrasting rusty railing.... effect of the sea, I'm sure.

Thanks for sharing this interesting part of Dorset. I can't think of any way to improve your image! Looks Great! Lisa

I don't consider this "abstract" Hans, but very definite shapes, mathematical even: rectangles, triangles, circles even. The wire in the fence is a nice pattern too.
Well seen, well captured. Especially the near-symmetry is terrific.
TFS

interesting subject with alternated red and blue :)

hi hans, awesome repetition, greta colors and clarity, how do you like the sigma lens? i was thinking of buying one,
tfs,
scott

OH my, you and Silke are on the same wave length today! Really nice to see the two presented here! The colors here are REALLY nice and strong, which makes the POP on the thumbnail Hansie! Now do people sleep in there? A bit claustrophobic for me? HAHA!

Hi Hans,

Back in few months ago, when I learnt photography from a friend . . that I should find object with main colors of red and blue . . capture it, and try setting the white balance until I get the exact color with the real object . . and was difficult exercise to do . .
Finally after several tries, I found the precise setup for WB . .
With my D300, it's no longer difficult to get exact color . .
You show me how nice these colors and stands out from the surrounding . .
I like the composition . .

Tfs,
TJutjut

Easy shot for you but it is super . The colourare superb
Good idea and view too
Bravo mon ami
Réal.

Hoi Hans.
Mooi symetrische foto, jammer van dat roestige hekwerk in front.
Tis wat werk, maar er vanaf clonen had gekunt, toch ?
Groeten van Jan

hi Hans

I am a bit puzzled about your title, red and blue, although I also see white and grey. but I suppose you refer more to the door colors. That is ok. What I like is the repeatitive shape, color and lines of everything in this pov and composition. Nice work and makes a good symmetry too.

tfs, bill

hello dear hans

very brilliant red and blue
good pov, very good details
very good contrast, good lighting
nice composition

Hello Hans!

I like the lovely repetition of lines and colours Hans! A very good composition!

TFS and I am happy to see that you enjoyed the tiger that I "set free" :-)

BTW I spent a lovely time reading from your interesting blog and looking at the lovely photos. Apart from the photos Ialways also enjoy reading in Dutch! How lucky you are to be able to travel to these interesting destinations...

Kind regards

Wia
:-) later...

Excellent work with the perspectives Hans, a good POV, bright colours and well framed. TFS,
David

Hoi Hans,

Ook mooi! Lekker symmetrie erin.
Hier is wat mij betreft niks mis mee! Er had wat meer zon mogen zijn, maar daar kun jij weinig aan doen ;-).

Groeten!

Intresting composition and I thing good idea!!
Great POV and shrapnes.And very very good effect!!!

SASO

In ieder geval véél leuker om naar te kijken
dan de strandhuisjes aan onze Belgische kust !

Ik zie aan je crop dat je er een soort symmmetrie aan wou geven.
Weet niet of het mogelijk was maar een " halve " meter meer naar links als POV had dit direct voor je gedaan. Kon je nog de buitenkanten naar wens croppen.
'k Weet het : achteraf is het makkelijk praten
:-)
Zulke zaken maken het verschil tussen een leuke foto en een sterke foto.
Dit zijn niet mijn woorden, ik herhaal maar.
Ze worden me wekelijks ingepeperd ...

Groetjes
Jan

Nice symmetrical capture.
Love the colors and composition.

Iso,

Hi Hansie,

Gewoon perfect - en dus relaxed genieten zoals dat hoort als je aan de zee staat.
Wat hoor ik, was jij niet zo vroeg opgestaan als Silke??

Hi Hans,
No need to improve it, it looks great as it is.
Very simple, graphic, nice textures and good saturated colour...I like it.
Cheers,
Pete.

Hello Hans,

Well balanced composition, nice symmetrical pattern of the houses and the railing. Vivid colors, very sharp and nicely presented.
Well done my friend,

Hello Hans! Such nice repetition showing the blue and red colored houses. The image is really sharp, I just might cut myself if I'm not careful enough... :))) Really a wonderful job, splendid colors, too! Congrats!

Wonderful POV and composition, TFS

Hello, Hans -
Wonderful image, good eye to see the shot here. I like the symmetry created by how you cropped the edges of the frame to the peak of the roofs on either side. The colors are vibrant and everything is sharp. I can't think of anything you could do to improve on it. Well done.

Hi Hans !
very clever use of colour here. I like the idea and how you went about it.
Excellent sharpness, clarity. Great tonal balance and the overall quality is very high indeed

Well done !
Best regards, Daniel

Interesting capture of such little architecture.
Good colours.
I would try to see how it looks w/o the other two "sheds" which seem to be cut off here.

Well done for the idea.
Tom
