A picture taken yesterday from edge of canal Middelburg Belgium beautiful place for angler, all sort river fish. Middelburg it's little village correct on the frontier with Holland. Documentary; Middelburg was built between 1452 and 1465 on instruction of Pieter Bladelin, governor of finance of Filips the Good and treasurer of the order of the Golden Fleece. There used to be (amongst other buildings) a church, a convent, a hospital, walls, a canal to the Lieve (canal Ghent-Damme) and a castle. From 1465 on, a free anual market took place. After the destruction of Dinant by Charles the Temerary, Bladelin brought several craftsmen to his new town. Due to these artisans, Middelburg was granted privileges by Edward IV, king of England, after which also a textile industry was set up. After the dead of Pieter Bladelin, his widow (Margareta de Vageviere) was allowed by Charles the Temerary to rule over the town.

This foto I have cropped to a better composition, but the colours are real

I hope you like it.

Ik zie allemaal lijnen, John.
Bovenaan de bomenrij aan allebei de zijden.
In het water de(zelfde) bomenrij.
Een lijn van het water zonder reflectie.
De walkant van de overzijde.
Prachtig geheel.

Superbe, toute cette gamme de vert tendre. bien vu

Soft and calm... Relax... Very good. Great colors and composition : well done !

Very nice place and pic.

Très beaux reflets des arbres sur l'eau. J'aime beaucoup cette composition John, la brume au loin, le canal bordé sur les deux rives par une lignée d'arbres aux feuilles bien vertes au printemps venu.
Très bon travail.
Very well done.

Reflections, or Green and white, or Lines in nature - so many title spring to mind. I looked at it for a while and then I thought, maybe something can be done to make it firrent from other canal shots. I did a WS.
Your note is as usual very informative.

I like it very much,John!
Can I say:Poetical perspective?!:)
Reall lovely scene you composed skilfully here.The all ellement are excellent.
You did great.

Very beautiful shot John !
It´s great !
Congratulations

Belles lignes et beaux reflets

Well done John, this is a great composition with the brook leading the eye into the picture, the reflection is great, as Judy has said 'one of the better reflections' Nicely shot, well presented with a very good note.
Well done.

Lovely composition. If you have access to photoshop might I suggest that you increase the contrast and diminish a bit the luminosity a bit? But even without manipulation, this is a great photo. THanks for sharing it.

tres joli j'aime beaucoup cet angle qui forme une flêche cette dominance de vert bravoooo

J'aime la serénité de l'endroit, je vais m'asseoir et en prendre le calme jusqu'a plus soif

Excellente photo,nous pouvons voir l'immensité du canal et la vivacité des arbres qui l'accompagne et de plus le reflet dans l'eau ébloui.Bravo.

Superbe photo John! Les canaux belge ...
Très bon cadrage, jolies couleurs, belle composition.
Seule critique éventuelle, une légère sur-exposition dans le ciel. Voir aussi, exatement le même point de vue, mais avec une lumière de début de soirée ou de début du jour? Ca doit être joli aussi ça.
Mes félicitations !

Bonjour,
J'ai découvert la photogénie des canaux mais les arbres du Canal du Midi ne sont pas si hauts. Jolie photo.

Hello John,
This is almost surreal, making me think of a sign with a green arrow!
Strong colours, intriguing framing...
A very special image indeed!
