The red shed and the Bougainvillea

While having a boat trip at the Bay of Islands I had a lunch brake on the Urupukapuka island ate the Otehei Bay. Instead of having lunch in the café I took my photogear for a walk to the top of the island. During that short hike I encountered this peaceful scenery, a red shed and a wonderful bougainvillea flower. Took several shots and chose this one to present for TL. Hope you enjoy the view as much as I did.

PP work: slight adjusment of brightness and contrast. Resized and sharpened.

Love this joyful image !


thanks,

It's all about the colours here, Hans, and you've caught them very nicely. I'm not sure there's much else to say, really - the simple stuff you do very well(i mean that as a compliment, not everyone does it so well) and the rest falls into place. It's a pleasant, clean view and you've captured it. Nice shot.

Hello Hans!
wonderful vived colours and light!! pov and composition run well! many thanks
Best regards!

Bonjour Hans
I like the compo and the well saturated colours of the barn and the flowers.Peaceful landscape, yes, as I like , though stormy or uneven ones are great too.

Hallo Hans,
Wellicht bundelt deze foto een hele reeks van clichés die Nieuw-Zeeland maken tot wat het is. Met andere woorden: je levert hier het prototype van een prentkaart af, maar dan wel een behoorlijk geslaagde. De kleuren van het schuurtje en de bloeiende struik mogen dan al niet echt bij elkaar passen (althans in mijn ogen), het geheel straalt een zekere authenticiteit uit.
De compositie is mooi en uitnodigend: je krijgt zin om de helling op te klauteren en deze vallei vanuit de hoogte te overschouwen.
Het enige wat ik anders zou hebben gedaan, is de scherptediepte: die is wat mij betreft te sterk (f/22) om écht natuurlijk over te komen. Daardoor zijn de heuvel en de bomen op de achtergrond iets te prominent aanwezig en trekken zij enigszins de aandacht weg van het schuurtje. Een iets zachtere scherptediepte zou meer suggestieve kracht geven, denk ik. Maar misschien is dat niet de eerste bedoeling van een prentkaart...
In elk geval leuk om je wedervaren "down under" vanuit mijn luie stoel te kunnen meemaken ;o).
TFS & groetjes,
Erik

Nicely seen Hans, good on you for taking the trouble to get pix most NZers would never see.
I like how the Bougainviiea bridges the colours and textures together.
Lovely lighting too, I hope you enjoyed your lunch.

Hi Hans,
Wat een heerlijke kleurige en fleurige plaat is dit!
De kleuren, de compo, en het standpunt zijn weer super; zoals we van je gewend zijn.
Van mij een 10 met een griffel!

Groet uit Renesse,
Adri

Hallo Hans,

Mooi rood is niet lelijk, zeggen ze hier.
De kleur rood van huis is prachtig maar de rodondendrons (?) hebben ze vast niet op kleur erbij gezocht (LOL)
Het huis had wat mij betreft meer naar rechts gemogen maar ik vind het een weer een heel mooie.

Groetjes, Marga

Dear Hans, this looks so magnificient! Open and surrounded with nature. A very simple shot but is creating magic with it wonderful colors.
Lovely composition!

Have A Wonderful Time!
Cheers,
Shubhi:)

What a nice impact Hans ! Totally a beautiful shot.

Iso.

Wow, this one really jumps out Hans, because of the bold saturated colors - from the shed and the flowers to the grass and trees. Too bad the colors of the shed and boug. clash ... but that's no fault of the photographers:) It's a great capture - great composition.
Trudy

Hi Hans,

Nice view and great colour matching - it was very hot over there? - I hate winter, have enough of it:)))
Tom:)

Oh that Bouganvilla is GORGEOUS!! I love it! The red shed is so perfect for this shot Hansie! What a beautiful thing! I hope you got some close ups of the Bouganvilla! Nice work!
B-)

Hi Hans.
Beautiful colors and presentation of this red shed,
Excellent POV. and details. Beautiful tree flower too,
very well taken and done ..As Usual..
Michel

Now that would make a great chocolate box photo if ever there was one, well captured Hans :)

Hi Hans,

IMpressive strong colours and effective pov make this an awesome composition. Well seen and captured. The bouganvillea is a fine specimen of a plant, obviously likes growing there.

The Bay of Islands is a stunningly beautiful part of New Zealand. Great work! Tfs.

Urupukapuka island - so you visited this island - Lovely.
It is such an attractive place here Hans, and the red paint and pink bougainvillea flowers take over the whole scene - better than sitting in a cafe.
Great show
Janice

Hi Hans,

What a peaceful setting. The bouganvilla is giant! I've never seen them this large. It's also a nice color too. The shed, the grasses all make for a splendid landscape.

Well done! Lisa

Onglofelijk schouwspel van kleur tegen een prachtige hemel.

Wow! Nice scenery and the colours of the shed and the flowers are an assault on the senses! Definately an eye-catching scenic shot - and worth delaying your lunch for.
Thanks for sharing
Mark

Hallo Hans.
of dit prachtige bouwsel hier door de welstand commissie komt betwijfel ik. toch zijn dit de speciale detail die het geheel van de omgeving juist zo mooi kleuren. Mooi compo en een sfeer vol gebouwtje.
Gr Frans

Very peaceful scene Hans with great impact of colours. Well done getting out for a walk-you were well rewarded! TFS
Pat.

Hoi Hans,
Inderdaad een prachtig en rustig plekje. Mooie bloemen achter die schuur. De lucht werkt gelukkig mee.
Goed van kleur en erg goed van compositie.
groet,
Joop!
