Hello dear friends,

Last Friday, I visited the greenhouse of our friends, a charming couple Patrick Côté and his wife Julie. The owners are Julie and her two sisters-in-law. Their enterprise is named : Union des Jardiniers (1998) located at L'Isle-Verte, Bas St-Laurent area Qc. They are also owners of an other bigger site at Rivière du Loup. You can believe that these women are very busy, considering that the season started late this year.

The light and the fresh colors of the suspended geranium potfuls assure me. Yes, we could believe at the spring!

Technically, the image is in its original format without crop. I adjusted the white color with selective colors function and added a little contrast and sharpness.

Thank you for stopping by and commenting!
Have a sunny week!

Well done!

Nice work here Annie. Interesting geometry and POV, good sharpness especially with the slow shutter, and good saturation.
I like it!

ovely use of the lines here, aniie - we really do get drawn right into the heart of the image. A good photographic lesson for us, I think - nice shot!

Drole de noms! "Jardin d'hiver": pourquoi? ;-)
C'est le printemps, avec ses nouveau verts e ses promesses de vie...
Très belle prise, les lignes des pots sont charmantes ainsi que le blanc dans le plafond.
Merci du partage.
Ciao, Antonella

Hello Annie

I liked your greenhouse suspended.
the repetition of the vases and a light green color
they give a beautiful charm in the windows blue to the bottom.
Flower in the air!
Congratulations, big visual!

Sérgio

Hello Annie,

Your friend surely takes his greenhouse very seriously!
Guess this is not just his hobby but also his work?

The blue background works very well for me. It combines nicely with the green of the plants and the little pieces of red above it. The whole point of view makes it nicely graphical.
Thanks for sharing!

Greetings, Dennis

Hi Annie,
Funny pun! Like it even as the image, the blue wall gives the green baskets a nice contrast. Indeed spring is in the air ;-)

An interesting composition Annie. This would be a lovely sight with the flowers in the baskets blooming but by that time they will possibly be relocated to another area where they will be sold.
I like your PV and you did well on the white colours with PP.

Chuckle...great title for this shot. Looking along the rows of green baskets gives a truly suspended impression, as if there was nothing holding them up and they are simply floating in the air! Clever subject and well done:)

hi Annie

Superb! I really like your pov of using the lines of roof structure and hanging plants to your maximum advantage to create a great photo. Very effective impression.

Bonjour Annie,
Que c'est neat. Ce cadrage que tu as fait et qui élimine le plancher épure beaucoup la photo et l'allège, donnant toute l'attention aux jardinières suspendues qui nous offrent un point de fuite naturel. Pas de surexposition sur le plafond, pas évident dans ces circonstances. Bien vu !

Bonjour Annie
En effet toute les serres regorge de fleurs et je me proposait d'aller faire mes achats et photographier en meme temps.
Belle composition nous donnant les lignes des plante, aisi que ceux de la serre.

Hi Anne, fascinating composition with fantastic perspective and splendid colors, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hi Annie,
In the area where I live are many greenhouses. I have never seen one like this. Your work is always high standard this one is no exception. The rhythm of the cups brings the depth.
The is also a very nice contrast and balance in the photo.
Ruud

Beautiful combination of colors, original compo and geometry. Original.

TFS,

Lovely spring.

Bonjour Annie
Quelle belle promesse d'un printemps qui se fait encore attendre! Très jolie perspective crée par ces rangées de jardinières qui semble croître dans une cathédrale toute ensoleillée.L'idée a le méride d'être originale et le point de vue choisi est impeccable.
Bravo
Serge

Bonjour Annie
Une perspective soignée et un bel assemblage de ces trois couleurs,vert bleu blanc.Un bon choix également du point de fuite.
Du bon et beau job.
bonne journée
Amicalement

Bonsoir Annie,
Un endroit qui me semble très bien entretenu cela sent le propre comme on dit chez-nous ! L'angle que tu as choisis pour ta composition nous donne tout une perspective sur l'ensemble des pots de fleurs ,une excellente PDC à f/7.1 et une netteté d'image irréprochable , du très bon travail et bravo pour le travail fait par cette famille et amis , que de clients satisfaits j'en suis certain,
Amicalement,
Carol

Hi Annie,

Love this so refreshing pic, Annie! The greens are so vivid. I like your POV with the vanishing point perspective. Perfect exposure. I like your note, sharing how you did your pp.

Annie,
avec cette image on peut voir l'artist qui vous avez dedans.
Excellent vision et réalisation.
Je l'aime beaucoup.
Merci par ces travails pleins de qualité.

These lines of flower baskets certainly do grab the eye and speak of spring to the spirit, Annie :) We've had pleasant days here and there, but still a lot of crisp mornings. It seems slow in coming this year. Anyway, I like what you've done here, technically and artistically. The point of view is well selected; the lines draw the eye; and that vaulted white roof adds depth and contrast.
