Hello Vu,
There is an unbelievably quiet and peaceful atmosphere in this picture. The sky and the water blend so perfectly that it is almost impossible to see the difference between them. The slow change of colours from top to bottom is beautiful. The boat with the plants behind it seem to be almost floating in the air.
A very attractive photo. Thanks for sharing,
Gert

Hello Siddharta,
Maybe not a very beautiful place for at street market, but the wheels form an elegant setting for the man.
A fine observation and a good composition.
Regards,

Hello Gerrit,
Still no funeral atmosphere the way we know it in Europe, although the girls are very neatly dressed. It's a joyful, colourful photo of happy children with lovely hairstyles.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Wolfgang,
A very elegant composition. The trees really form a tunnel towards the end of the road. The few rusty leaves still remaining on the right side bring us the last memories of autumn, before winter sets in. I'm afraid I have to disagree with your wife, because I like the fresher colours of the ws better, but I won't make a fuss about it. The differences are quite small.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Malgorzata,
The man with the red turban stepped into the frame at the right moment. Many buildings in Japur are marvellous, but I remember the city from long ago as rather annoying because of the number of hysterically eager salesman and tourist touts. And my slides were lost at my local post office.
Regards,
Gert

Hello Jonathan,
An old photo and technically not perfect, but it's such a fine composition that I really enjoy it in spite of the noisy sky.
Kind regards,

Hello Nika,
A very fine view. A nice windmill and very interesting barns. Good light and colours.
Kind regards,

Hello Stefano,
A well captured moment. It's heartwarming that the girls can smile so genuinely in spite of their hard living conditions. The colours are very good, but I agree with Clodo about cropping away the wall. I would also have liked to see more sharpness.
Regards,
Gert

Hello Yılmaz,
People at work always make interesting photos. I like the attentive look of the man and all the details showing the products of his occupation. The light is very well handled.

Hello Frank,
If I had 7 million euros I would probably spend them differently. I guess some people would call this bad taste. I don't know, maybe in 50 years it will be considered one of the great pieces of German architecture. But it's colourful and unusal and a suitable contribution to TE.
Kind regards,
Gert
