Colmar XX, a photo from Alsace, East

Photographer's Note

Hello friends and colleagues, today I offer this beautiful composition in the "little Venice" of the city of Colmar, this is the fourth image of the second visit I made to the beautiful city, I hope you like it, then some letters about the city.

Colmar (French: Colmar, Alsatian: Colmer, German: Colmar, between 1871-1918 and 1940-1945: Kolmar): is a city and commune in the Alsace department of the Upper Rhine, France. It is the prefecture (capital) of the district of the same name. The old city center, well preserved, houses several buildings, sometimes large, German Gothic style and the first Renaissance, as well as a number of old churches, among which is the collegiate church of San Martín (XIII century) as the biggest and most remarkable. The local artist of the fifteenth century Martin Schongauer painted what is considered his masterpiece, The Virgin of the Roses, in the Eglise des Dominicains (church of the Dominicans). The famous Isemheim Altarpiece by Matthias Grünewald is the most outstanding treasure housed in the Unterlinden Museum in the city. This museum, opened in 1853, is housed in the former convent of the Dominican order of "Unterlinden" (meaning "under the lime trees"). In 1834, Auguste Bartholdi, creator of the famous Statue of Liberty, was born in Colmar Frédéric, located in the city of New York. Once a year, in the month of August, Colmar hosts the Wine Fair. However, the greatest art preserved by Colmar is that traditional atmosphere, with its carefully preserved wooden structure houses, full of flowering geraniums on hot days. Colmar has an interesting center, set with old buildings, a famous museum, Unterlinden, and a neat little Venice. In addition, in the surroundings of the city there are some other points of interest, such as the magnificent village of Riquewihr, and an excellent gastronomy and careful wines that also haunt the conception of art. Unterlinden Museum is housed in a former convent of Dominica founded in the thirteenth century, which has a Gothic cloister considered the best in the region.

Hello Angel,
A lovely capture of these charming houses with their half-timbered architecture and pastel colours. The green trees and the red flowers are very well included at the side and in the foreground.

Hola amigo Angel.
Colmar otro maravilloso lugar, donde uno no se cansa de tirar fotos, esplendida esta que nos muestras con esas encantadoras casas, estos rojos geranios en primar plano dan un gran impacto a la composicon, lo mismo que el verdor del arbol, un gran contrapunto.
Muy bonito colorido, en unos tonos, muy atrayentes.
Buena gestion de la luminosidad y una magnífica nitidez.
Muy bien hecho. Mis felicitaciones.
Todo lo mejor y que tengas una buena semana.
Luis.

Hello Angel

A lovely capture from charming Colmar. The red flowers makes an eye-catching foreground whilst the half-timbered houses catches the attention in the background. The people on the bridge is nicely included. Interesting how the blue shirt of the man on the bridge matches the blue building. Lovely work:) TFS.

Greetings, Erling

Hello Angel,
You found a very good place for this photo. We are shown the pretty buildings in the gap between the bright red flowers and the green branches. Luckily there are also a few persons standing on the bridge where they further enliven the view. The colours are skillfully handled.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Angel

I like the fg red flowers at left contrasting with the pale blue grey sky to give a wonderful warm cold colour contrast. The dof works well here. Tfs!

Red flowers as a beautiful element added to the Colmar canal and old houses scenery.
Chjarming town, endless intriguing spots for any photographer.
Buenas dias,

Hola Angel,

Colmar is one of those places that pleases photographers with its many attractive old buildings and its plethora of colourful flower displays. You have used the flowers very effectively in your photograph, by using them to set the scene with their vibrant colours. With the flowers and stretching branches framing the scene, you have created an impression that we are secretly spying on those characterful houses, adding an atmosphere of slight intrigue.

You did a great job filling the frame with interesting features and excluding most of the sky which was so grey.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hola Angel,
very picturesque view so beautifully framed with the flowers on one corner and green vegetation on another. The houses as well have two different colors although being in the same traditional Alsace style.
Very eye pleasing effect.
Excellent work,
