[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
Picture taken in Dockyard Creek (a part of Grand Harbour) and looking into the direction of Valletta, the capital. On top you can see the arches of the Upper Barrakka Gardens from where one of my previous pictures (the one from Fort St. Angelo) is taken.

Left of the creek you see the peninsule Senglea.
At the right side a part of the new marina of Vittoriosa.

In the middle of the creek one of the many boats that make regular harbour cruises.

Hello Paul
Nice formulation, excellent alive colours, technically also without accusation. The contrast between old harbour with times of Middle Ages and the modern yachts.

Goed avond Paul,

Een mooie standpunt of de haven, de boten en de hoge huizen kleurrijk. Een foto zeer rijk aan details.
Goed WE,
Roger

Superb vantage POV, Paul. Magnificent historic vision in the background and great water color contrast. Fine inclusion of the boat approaching this way and interesting graphism at right. There's many details to observe here. Excellent capture.

Privet , Paul,
Very interesting place, Malta for me is possible country for next holiday. I like this island. Beatiful colours!

Hi Paul
Nicely composed. It was good that you waited for the tour boat to occupy that space. The WS has sharpened the BG a lot but I am not bothered by the haziness from that distance in your original shot. It seems more real somehow.
Phil

Hello PAul,

La Valette me semble valoir le déplacement! Et depuis ce superbe point de vue permettant une compo équilibrée avec les voiliers sur la droite, les quais a gauche et la vieille ville au fond... En plus il fait beau et ça donne se belles couleurs!

Paul,
Another really nice shot of the grand harbour, Beautiful ultra marine blue, good clarity and sharpness, good light and color, composition is just fine. Good DoF and POV. Overall, very well captured scenery. Thanks for sharing.
Way

You found a wonderful POV to show so much of the area. The boat coming towards you is a very important feature of the image as there would have been a big area of empty water.
Kath

Hello Paul,
Great shot with very beautiful colors and contrast. Perfect POV and very good light management. The sharpness and lights are great. Regards,
Seref

hi Paul

This is really great perspective view of a scene which is not seen much on TE. I never know Malta is such a beautiful place. Very good color contrast and saturation.

tfs, bill

Hello Paul,
Beautiful scenery of the dockyard creek in the full of light. It might be more attractive when removing the noise of the sky. I like this clear blue of the creek.
Have a nice summertime, Hisashi

Hi Paul,

Excellent high POV and really well-composed with pleasant light and colours. Really well-done. TFS and have a nice evening!

Cheers,

Ulf

Hey Paul,

An amazing view of the harbour and the classic buildings in the background. I usually don`t like such a strong saturation, but in this case it`s absolutely splendid, and gives of that painting feeling, which can often fail, but not in this case. Congratulations.

Best regards.

Ciao Paul,
stupendous contrast among the blue of the sea and the houses of the harbour of La Valletta. This beautiful image has a good definition of the details and an excellent management of the light. You have done a good job, compliments.
Ciao
Paolo.

Hello Paul, again!
Excellent postcard from Valetta!
Beautiful colours and perfect perspective!
Greetings!

Hi Paul,
Wow. It looks like a really busy harbor with a lot of leisure boats. Great medieval & modern architectures flanking the shores. I also like the boat in the middle as a focal point for this photo. Best Regards. Latiff.

Hello Paul:

It appears that Malta seems to be an island of dreams, located in the Mediterranean.

The view is splendid, with a blue water hard to match. Great composition, with the yachts in the harbor and the city background, with good handling of light and beautiful tones.
