Good morning and happy birthday to you.
Yes Dingo received his birthday card by mail a few days ago already, but today, Thursday August 28 it's Frank's birthday.
.
This picture I took when we had enjoyed our breakfast in a hotel on the island of Texel and just before we were going to surprise my sister who celebrated her birthday a few kilometers from here.
Such a beautiful day we had not seen in quite some time. Now it's Frank's day off on Friday and I wish them a sunny day - like the one you hopefully enjoy in my picture.
.
Thanks for your visit,
may the sun always shine for you,

Els

Update:
PS Alexandra (Koala) just brought to my attention that there is a happy birthday text in the middle of the picture, written over the hotel there. It was not on purpose and yesterday evening late (almost 12 o clock, I did not see that happening. Working with text in the new trial version of PhotoFiltre Studio is different and when you want to drag the text down, then you can easily loose it, you have to wait until the arrow turns into a triangle, then you can move the text.
I don't much like it, but it was an honest mistake - ah well at least I did not forget to straighten that horizon ^-^.

Hi Els,
Nice composition in the picture. I like the reflection of the sun off then water. I think you controlled the light very well especially since you were facing the sun. Nice work.

Kevin

Hi Els,
Wonderful photo! You managed successfully this backlit!
The dark silhouettes of boat and wharf enhance the brightness of the sun's ray falling on the sea.
Good choice for Dingo birthday!
Bravo! Annie

TFS

Have a nice day!

Happy Birthday, Frankie.!
Cheers, daar drink ik vanavond en 'Witte' op.!
Jij heb het maar druk met ons allemaal verwennen, Ellleke.
Erg Lief van Je.
Mooie foto met het invallende licht, al vind ik de sluitertijd te kort, waardoor het water te veel bevriest.
Paping, zou hier goed uit de 'voeten' kunnen, toch ?
Groetjes van Jan

Good afternoon, Els!
Thanks for this lovely bd card. I saw it yesterday evening with some others you sent me, and somehow you must have guessed that this was my top favourite image...
I really like the mood in the shot. You captured the sun very well with a nice star effect, the underexposure of the surroundings creates a very nice mood.
I'm almost ashamed to say that I didn't notice the text near the hotel, though. But it does blend in nicely with the terrain there, so it's not disturbing.
What I do notice, however, is that your sensor needs cleaning; there's a large dust bunny directly left of the red flag on the right.
Anyway, thanks again for the nice card and your bd wishes. A big hug to you and TFS!

Bonjour Els,
Une belle journée...
Dis-moi, tu as utilisé un filtre?
Le ciel est magnifique, je comprends de tu veuille y retourner!
J'aime la clarté qui prends des allures plus en plus sombre à mesure que nos yeux descendent sur cette photo...
C'est vraiment un bel endroit!
TFS,
Amitiés,
Dany
J'en profite pour souhaiter "Bonne Fête à Frank!"

Hallo Els
Een heel mooie sfeervolle foto.
Mooi van licht en kleur.
Gr Jos

jaaaaahhh. dit zijn de platen waar ik van hou.. geweldig zo direct tegen de zon in.
Knap hoe je evengoed de details weet te behouden in de donkere delen van de foto.

Hello Els,

I hope you have had a great time with your birthday surprises!
This is perfect in its composition, and the wonderful use of the light, leading the eye across the frame and banishing the shade from the corner vessel. Pefect, subdued colours.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Els

Wonderful contrasted lighting, with superb reflections & graphism. Good sharpness & a nice diagonal added by the fg boat. Tfs!

What a pleasant morning to wake up and wish Frank a happy birthday. This is well composed Els, and I like the exposure setting chosen. My best regards on a holiday (Labor Day) on the other side of the continent. Danilo

Hello Els. I like the stylish girl with a DSLR in the intro :-)
This is such a wonderful composition for an early morning shot. The morning light is so pleasing with the reflection and ambiance on that nice architecture. Thanks for sharing and best regards for a job well done. Jusni

Qua " mood " is dit zéker geslaagd Els !!
Héél uitnodigend : wil daar gerust " hier-en-nu "
lekker met vrienden ( jullie mogen er ook bij :-p )
wat zitten praten.
Wat bruin ( Belgisch - sorry ) bier, kaas en gedroogde worst.
Beetje kaarsen her-en-der.
Méér hoeft het echt niet te zijn.

Tech : heb je bewust voor f13 gekozen ?

Kaas en bier heb ik hier ...
