Bruges market square, daily life image

On my last visit to Bruges, I saw a group of young people play on different musical instruments.
There was also dancing, but I could not take pictures of that, by the many public.
I could not speak to anyone, I do not know where these people came from
If there is someone who knows, or people recognize, the different picture they can get from me.

I hope you like it.

Ciao John
non potevano scegliere una piazza migliore per fare l'esibizione, spero che la musica sia stata al livello della piazza.
Saluti

Hello John,
Unfortunately I have no idea who these people are, but I hope they sounded well. Their dress code gave this photo a pink theme. Also among those sitting on the ground pink was a popular colour. Their brass instruments of many kinds also look good, and so do the traditional buildings lining the background. This strange orchestra gave you an original photo, but with your characteristic good quality.
Kind regards,
Gert

Witaj John!
An interesting orchestra, the view is impressive.
Excellent frame, composition and light.
Well done.
Nice day.
Krzysztof

Hi John
the photos from Bruges never stop haha, love seeing these. you chose an excellent pov for this shot, as the people curve around the photo left to right. fine pov too, as it looks like you're very low to the ground pointing upwards. the lighting was harsh but the end result is still very attractive, fine post. cheers

Hello John,

The diagonal line of musicians nicely leads the eye from the bottom left to the top right. Nice repetitive patterns formed by the curved flagstones. Tfs!

papagolf21 (152601) 2018-07-30 1:45

Bonjour, cher ami John,
Alors là, cela doit faire du bruit avec cette fanfare en action. Je remarque que la jeunesse est toujours intéressée par la musique et par voie de conséquence aux instruments.
C'est bien présenté, il ne manque plus que le son ! ;o)
Amitiés.
Philippe

snunney (130967) 2018-07-30 2:20

Hello John,
Interesting composition with a fine array of instruments, mainly brass, on display. The musicians nicely fill the frame and add some nice splashes of vibrant colour with their pink outfits. The attractive background architecture makes a lovely backdrop to the whole scene. Excellent technical quality as ever.

Royaldevon (75622) 2018-07-30 3:05

Hello John,

The repetition of the pink trousers suggests that at least some of these musicians belong to a group.

I really like your positioning for this photograph. I think most people would have photographed them from the front but this aspect works much better. The curve of the musicians make a great guide around the frame, it also gives a sense of depth and perspective.
There are many surrounding details to create a sense of place, too.
It looks amazing on Beta!

Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Hi John
Nice angle & framing that you are almost compelled to watch the musicians, heightened by some great colours and lovely attention to detail. Good exposure and nice surroundings. Excellent shot, Congrats.
Best regards

Hi John,

You have captured well the action of the musicians. The point of view is showing the details of the buildings and of the musical instruments. The light has a good effect on the colors. Have a nice day.

Bonjour John,

Un groupe de jeunes comme ceux-là doit animer une place. Cela doit beaucoup attirer les touristes, surtout que c'est une très belle place. Beau point de vue bas qui donne de l'ampleur.

Amicalement

Hallo John,
Een uitstekende foto van al deze muzikanten. Dat moet toch een mooie sfeer gegeven hebben op dit plein. Roze was duidelijk de favoriete kleur. Het vrij lage standpunt laat de gevels rond het plein ook goed zien.
Lars

emka (152426) 2018-07-30 23:39

Hello John, Nice group of these young musicians. What an attraction for the tourists and local in Bruges. Pity that you cannot to hear them playing. Nice cheerful picture. It reminds me of the musicians I saw in France last year.

Kind regards MAlgo

Hallo John,
Prachtige weergave van de zomerse sfeer in de stad!
Ik begrijp dat je omwille van het aanwezige publiek niet de beste foto's kan maken van de optredens of van het dansen maar deze hier is zeker echt wel geslaagd.
Je stond blijkbaar op de eerste rij en alle muzikanten staan mooi op een rij die een kleine bocht maakt.
Op die wijze kunnen we heel veel muzikanten zien.
Ze zien er nog allen heel erg jong uit. En enthousiast!
Heel mooi met de overheersende paarse kleur.
Prachtig scherp voorgesteld.
Vele groeten, Paul

Hello John,
This is a very fine street view. The abundance of pink attires makes it really attractive. 👍

Dag John
Helaas kan ik ook niet helpen aan meer informatie over deze uitgebreide blazersgroep. Ik had ze graag horen spelen. Ik denk dat het fantastisch heeft geklonken.
Grappig om te zien dat er een duidelijke voorkeur is voor donker roze broeken.
Mooi waargenomen en uitstekend gefotografeerd.
Groet, Rob

Miguel82 (47108) 2020-07-06 12:20

Hallo John, that group is playing different instruments like trumpet and flute in that square of Bruges. I like the low pov and the musicians' pink clothes. They really animate the place with their music and dance. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.
