Photographer’s Note

I love my town when the sun shines all day and in the evening you can see people relaxing on the water and on the waterside, while the golden tones of the late sun are coloring the city.

Hi Gerrit. There is a lovely summer mood here, people absorbing the warm rays of the sun, strolling by the canal, sharing a joke. The light and the warm palette make the image inviting.Nicely composed so that the beauty of the place and the human activities are revealed. The young leaves bring a freshness and delicacy to the image. Regards. Klaudio.

Hi Gerritt

Nice reflections in the canal waters with good colour, sharpness, saturation & lighting contrasts. The boat makes a good focal point & the people add scale. Tfs!

Hello Gerrit
I love the way you have framed this scene including the typical houses with along the trees adding a great color touch, the bridge and the canal with a well timed capture on the boat coming towards you. The luminosity is beautiful and although it is not yet summer time, the feeling is there.
The couple seating in FG is also a nice detail to look at...interesting perspective too!
Cheers
Marilyn

Bonjour Gerrit,
les couleurs très chaudes renforcent vraiment cette impression estivale. J'aime beaucou la fraicheur apportée par le vert des feuillages et l'eau.
Très bien cadré et l'endroit est bien choisi.
Amicalement.
Daniel.

Indeed summertime is an excellent season in your lovely city. The light is delicious here. Your timing is fine with the boat just passing below the bridge. Like the green leaves in the hanging branches overhead.
