Guten Morgen Harriet!
Am Nord-Ostsee-Kanal habe ich auch schon Stunden gesessen und den Schiffspassagen zugeschaut. Bei manchen Pötten kommt man wirklich ins Staunen. Dein Foto zeigt die Situation dort wunderschön und die "optische Täuschung" eines Landfahrzeuges ist perfekt. Mir gefällt, dass du soviel Wiese ins Bild einbezogen hast, denn das wird der Landschaft dort gerecht. Der Traktor ist ein schöner zusätzlicher "eyecatcher". Na dann, ahoi! Übrigens - wieder ein Klasse Kommentar!
Einen schönen Sonntag aus dem leider grauen Südwestfalen!

Hello Harriet,
An amazing meeting of a ship and a tractor. An interesting composition and very fine, soft colours. A good observation. I might have considered cropping a bit of the empty foreground though.
Best wishes,
Gert

Hello Harriet,
a funny nice photo! Very unusual to see a ship and a tractor at the same time: two so different ...mmmm... kinds of transportation!:) There must be some trick: either the ship as wheels or the tractor can sail ;) Very interesting juxtaposition.
Concerning the composition, I would agree with Gert. I've made a Workshop variant... if you don't mind:)
kind regards,
Elena

Hi Harriet,
A most peculiar sight with the ship and the tractor together. The colourful containers add a new dimension to this rural landscape. Truly a different picture!

Hi Karriet,
quite a funny view with that container ship in this unusual decor. Good layering and the tractor is another important topic.

Hallo Harriet,

persönlich gefällt mir die Version im Workshop besser, aber auch diese Aufnahme ist sehr interessant..deine Erklärung hilft dem Betrachter das gesehene richtig einzuordnen, die optische Täuschung ist gut gelungen..

Hi Harriet
An amusing photo of 2 contrasting forms of transport. A nice compositon - although I do think that Elena's workshop enhances all aspects of the photo. TFS, Marlene

Hello my friend from Germany!
I compliment for this artistic and impressive shot from you!
with this pov, you will feel a mighty container ship is sailing on the land if not reading your useful notes about the canal on this flat land!
I loved the soft and gentle lighting across this image with good colour
well done with thanks

Hi Harriet,

at the first look at this image I asked my self in an amazment: what is this ship doing in the middle of the green scenery of fields and forest? Only when I read your note things started to make sense. :) Brilliant choice of shooting, giving this capture a unique mystery touch with excellent balance between ship and tractor, as in sence of asymetrical simetry and in sense of different motives usually not seen in such relation. Really nice work!

Kind regards,
Jeri

Hello Harriet.
What an unusual sight. I wonder how far from the sea this location is. You juxtaposed the ship and the tractor nicely in this composition, and captured a nice gentle light and some shadow. I would crop about 60% off the bottom of the photo. Thank you for that very interesting note.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Harriet,
Interesting viewpoint, showing just the ship and no canal. I think I'd like to see more of that ship behind bushes although they emphasize impression of ship being on the field. The tractor is well placed.
I'd prefer tighter framing by cropping from left and bottom.

Hi Harriet,
This is really an interesting picture. At first I thought that was some kind of industrial building in the distance, but then I realized it was a ship that mistakenly appears to be parked in a field. Very nice illustration of this canal. You've really captured a unique feature of this part of Germany. I like the tractor too. You've used it well to balance the bridge of the ship. Nice post!

Hallo Harriet,
tolle optische Täuschung die du uns hier präsentierst.
Ohne deinen Kommentar hätte ich mich echt gefragt was der Kahn da auf der Wiese macht. Wenn ich das richtig sehe war es ziemlich windig. Der Traktor passt gut ins Bild.
Viele Grüsse aus dem Donautal

Hi Harriet,

Always fascinating to see these large ships in the middle of the meadows and the trees.
The contrast between the tractor and the ship makes the picture very original.

Hi Harriet,
Attractive rhythm given by the background trees.
But what I like especially it is this crossing between this boat of containers and this tractor. There is something surrealist in this photo with this boat which appears from the vegetation. Very well consisted, you would have been able to look a little more of contrast, if you have a software which allows to make it.
Cheers
Diane

Hallo Harriet,
ja diese Bilder durch den alten "Kaiser-Wilhelm-Kanal" kenne ich, es sieht einfach merkwürdig aus, die Aufbauten mitten in den Wiesen zu entdecken. Sehr reizvoller Punkt durch die Bäume, die zum Teil das Schiff verdecken.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hi Harriet!

Wow, fantastic picture, unbelievable spectacle, very original photo! You had a great "eye" for this one, the way you composed the photo, really makes this ship look like floating on grass, great timing! Beautiful colours, too! Congratulations!

Hi Harriet!
Very impressive and humorous this little tractor trying to keep pace with the big ship.
If it wasn't for the title, one would think, looking quickly that it was some kind of radar tower with its side buildings. Great capture with these coloured dots piercing the green canvas!
Cheers.
MarieLouise.

Bonjour Harriet,
excellent ce bateau que l'on croirait posé sur la prairie.
Il a l'air immense. Une note interessante sur ce canal qui semble vital à l'économie.
Une photo très naturelle.
Amitié.

Hallo Harriet,
This is an amazing view, even more with the tractor included.
I've passed the Nord-Ostsee Kanal a few times by ship. It's a great journey.
