Hello Robert,
This is a beautiful photo. The buildings are very nice and the golden clouds are perfectly reflected in the miraculously calm water, where the red buy is a nice detail. Generally the colors and light are terrific.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Robert,
I hope you had a Merry Christmas. This photo is beautiful, and would make a lovely painting, too. :-) The warm colors, the completely still water, and the quaint town buildings are all wonderful. The lighting and reflections are also great. It's a joy to look at this scene.

The douce golden colors and the morning/evening light works well with the rushes, the calm surface and the rather interesting building.

Dag Robert,

U maakt van al uw foto mooie schilderijen, welke zeker in huis zou mogen hangen.
Over de helft ga ik het niet hebben, want uw foto is daarom veel te mooi.
Uw onderwerp en de plaatsing is volkomen perfect, en nu de kleuren nog, ze zijn zacht als fluweel.
Het onderwerp oer Hollands maar zo mooi neergezet.
Ik geniet steeds van uw mooi werk.
Bedankt.

Ik wens u een voorspoedig 2015, en meer van dit soort foto's,
John uit Vlaanderen.

chawax (20764) 2014-12-26 5:45

Bonjour Robert

J'aime beaucoup l'atmosphère qui se dégage de cette composition. L'endroit est de toute beauté mais n'est qu'un support à la lumière chaude et dorée du coucher de soleil.

Amicalement

Robert,

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your family and love ones.

I want to add this to my favorite, but I can't because it is not allow to have 99 favorite pictures. I'm still waiting for them to fix that. Sorry have not been here much.

Beautiful image as always, no words to describe it.

Hello,

This is such a beautiful shot. You've captured a gorgeous sunset, and the soft glow of the sky and lake make a wonderful atmosphere. Also, the image is sharp and I like how the buildings stand out in the background and are softly framed by the yellow plants in the foreground. It really makes you want to visit the place.
Keep up the good work!

macjake (98262) 2015-01-05 0:34

Hi Robert

Hello Robert,
This is a nicely balanced photo with the sky and it's great reflection. The placement of the buildings is great creating a sense of direction for the shot. This is nice use of the rule of thirds.
