Hey, Laura....this is a nice B&W image. The person with the umbrella really adds interest to the image. Nicely composed!

Cheers

Hi David

I just love this image! However....I feel you can get a bit more out of it! I've re-worked it...you can see the results below.

This is what I did to it.

I skewed it slightly in the top right-hand corner...to straighten the vertical far right girder. I then slightly skewed the bottom left-hand corner of the image to straighten up the vertical girder closest to the left of the image. I then clicked on 'Transform' and went to the bottom of the image and dragged it down a fraction to remove the water in the bottom left and bottom middle of the image. I then completely cloned out all of the white specs in the image. I then removed the cyan colour from the light, and from its reflection. I then went to the top of the image and lassoed the area above the bridge and removed the noise from the sky above the bridge. Finally, I upped the contrast by 15.

I hope you don't mind but, IMHO, I feel it looks a little better.

Once again, IMO, this is fine image! Well spotted, and captured!

Cheers

Phil

Hi Gary

Yes, it is one of my favourite spots to visit early on mornings during the winter months. :)

Thanks for the comment!

Hi Paolo

A simple but striking scene! Nice tones. I prefer the colour version to the B&W. Nice one, Mate!

Hey, Dave!

This is one of the best Iris images that I've seen. The colours are so rich, and the image is nice and sharp.

Well captured, Mate!

Hi Anthony

I'm flattered by your comments, however, I just regard myself as an average photographer, with a lot to learn. :)

Thanks, again!

Cool....I see your point! :)

I didn't see the letter 'E' until you pointed it out. :) This is very well suited to the project.

Hi Anthony

You have some great images in your portfolio!

I like this image....the angle at which you've captured the buildings gives a real feeling of depth and perspective.

Nice tones!

Cheers

Hi Avi

I saw the colour version.....I think I like it better than this one.

I have to say I would prefer to see the vertical version of this image....I think there would be a greater feeling of perspective about the image. For me, the horizontal versions seem a little 'unbalanced'. :)

Cheers

Hey, Riny!

We were so fortunate to have been there during this period. Apparently, it had been 10 years since the canals were frozen over like this. Everywhere we went the canals were frozen, and there the skaters were out in force, complete with picnic tables, food, and drinks! It was a great experience for us Aussies to witness!

You live in a fantastic country. The people are so friendly, the scenery is stunning, and the infrastructure is astounding. I can't wait to come back next April, to capture the tulip fields. :)

Cheers
