Hi Hans!
Very interesting and typical for Germany view. Your composition is very nice. Good that I can't see any tourists ;)
Regards.

A clever take of the iron ship with the sky behind, Hans. I enjoy the beautiful shapes of the half-timbered houses. The composition is very good, especially the inclusion of the dark wall on the left upper corner.

RGatward (19749) 2005-05-06 15:46

A very Hanssie shot, I got it from the thub before reading your name. Very nicely realised throughout.

Very nice photo, lovely houses. The sign against the blue sky is a nice touch. Well done!

MvS (4163) 2005-05-06 16:30

Very nice old houses - even some inscription! Well composed - I guess it is quite narrow.
Thanks,
Magnus

Ik kan goed vakwerk ook appreciëren... heet het daarom vakwerk? In ieder geval, goed werk van de bouwers van deze prachtige huizen en prachtig gebracht door de man achter de camera. Goed positie gekozen zodat het uithangbord mooi in de open ruimte hangt. Well done.

Guenther (6857) 2005-05-06 17:44

Hi Hans, great composition! I loke your well chosen pov with the splendid sign, the old houses are really charming, the light is great, very well done!

alvaraalto (5297) 2005-05-06 18:57

Hi Hans,
Als dit geen Duits plaatje is, weet ik het niet meer. Mooi gedaan met deze 3 richtingen vakwerkhuizen en een uithangbord.
groet Rob

Hoi Hans,
Hele mooi foto van deze vakwerkhuisjes! Vanuit een hele mooie hoek genomen met zeer mooie kleuren! Goed werk! :-D
Prettig weekend en groetjes,
Lars

Hi Hans,
Beautiful view of course of these fine half-timbered houses and the fine carved sign of an insurance company ? If you love this architecture, and there are plenty of good reasons to love it, may I suggest you to visit my region Elsass ? Welkom !
What I like in this particular photo is how you detached the sign over the sole blue sky piece, the rest of the frame being (very well) filled by the old houses.
Have a nice week end,
Jean-Yves

jpdeloof (2546) 2005-05-07 4:01

bonjour Hans. Jolies façades garnies de bois. C'est un bel angle de prise de vue. Couleurs bien équilibrées, luminosité et beau contraste.
JP

wilkinsonsg (8646) 2005-05-07 4:19

Well composed to show some very nice patterns in these timber houses - good exposure too :)

oochappan (22032) 2005-05-07 4:24

Mooi Hans
dit uithangbord was wel even mikken om dit los te krijgen van dit lijnenspel van het stukwerk in de blauwe lucht, heldere kleuren zelfs in de shaduws, niet makkelijk in tegenlicht maar je hebt een perfect moment uitgekozen om de digitaal te verschalken.
Groeten
Henk

ydavid (294) 2005-05-07 5:21

Very nice photo of beautiful houses so typical of Germany. I like the way you placed the hanging sign with the sky as a background. Nice shot, Hans.

jmdaoudal (82) 2005-05-07 5:25

Belles "maisons à colombage", nice colors and I would say also, it is a very well lined composition due to the framing you get there.
A + is at the sign very well detailed by its position in the sky.
Compliments
jean Michel

cessy (13647) 2005-05-07 10:28

very nice shot of the village Hans
sharp and clear, the architecture very interesting

Fixfocus (9377) 2005-05-07 10:53

dag Hans!
A fine compo with nice lines in it!I like the beautiful colors and contrasts here,The silhouette of the "Norddeutscher Lloyd" sign is a good detail.
Well done!

lukie (0) 2005-05-07 12:24

Prachtige detailfoto van deze pitoreske gebouwen, Hans.

jhm (83161) 2005-05-07 12:43

Dag Hans,
Hoe kan deze mij weer ontglipt zijn, en ik die zo van die fantastische duitse gebouwen houd, en zeker zoals deze hier is gebracht, zeer fijn en met degelijk overleg gecropt en afgewerkt, schitterend Hans, sorry man!
Groeten,
John.

keribar (42760) 2005-05-07 13:35

Hello Hans,

I tried to guess where this place is without looking at the note, and I failed, thought it was somewhere in Alsace because I remember such houses in Strasbourg. Anyway I realize that the light conditions are difficult when taking houses, but here you managed to have an uniform light and I also appreciate thet the sign has come between the two houses. Well done - Izzet

elihesamian (26091) 2005-05-07 13:51

Indeed a beautiful part of village you show us,Hans!
and you know I love the atmosphere of the villages.
great POV,a nice composition you managed in this angle,very well worked,and the building with flower box is very attractive and lovely here,nicely captured and thanks for posting it.
Regards
M

jbweasle (9294) 2005-05-07 17:06

A lovely shot of these old buildings. Full of detail. The silhouette of the iron sign is a superb touch.

Jeppe (18623) 2005-05-07 18:41

Yes - if fully agree - surely some beautyful examples of halftimbered house you spotted and captured here Hans - I like the sign as a fine extra element as well - thanks for one to the theme.

nwoehnl (120) 2005-05-08 14:46

Very nice presentation of the old half-timbered buildings indeed, Hans. Great shooting position you found to present the medieval "skyline", and I like how you managed to fit both the wrought-iron sign as well as the writing below the roof of the foreground building into the frame. Beautiful colors and light, too, fine work.

donluicu (23927) 2005-05-08 15:05

Hans
this is a really nice composition of this very particular region. I've nver been there, but may be some day...
the POV is excellent, congratulation

danyy (69319) 2005-05-08 16:00

Bonsoir Hans,
Un magnifique cliché de ces habitations typiques de cette région. Très jolies couleurs et netteté.
Merci pour ce partage qui me rappelle mes belles balades en Allemagne.
Daniel.

capthaddock (28640) 2005-05-08 17:34

Hi Hans- beautiful architecture and well chosen angle, fortunately none of the tourists appear in the photo, those tour busses are quite a circus.

Gix (3559) 2005-05-09 13:32

Hi Hans,
nice, louminous view of a characteristic architecture. Is a pity to see antennas everywhere, even on half-timbered, old houses!
Very nice the signal, is a beer inn?
Nice work!
ciao, Giorgio

Clochette (8076) 2005-05-09 14:58

Haha, tourists... I suppose that is why you cut the pic at the bottom ;-)
Once again the beautiful German style, with a clever control of the different lights. Well done !

supereira (9576) 2005-05-10 7:07

Great shot.I like it a lot!Good point of view and prespective.Good colors and contrasts.I like the contrast between the buildings and the sky.Good textures,light and sharpness.I liek the architecture.Good job!

bertolucci (11992) 2005-05-10 13:56

Hi Hans, very nice how you included these facades, positioned in different angles i this shot. The result is, also due to the stong lines of the fachwerk architecture, very graphic. Great archi-shot!
Groeten uit Rotterdam, Bert.

Intruder (3075) 2005-05-11 16:49

hello Hans, this is a beautiful picture. the lighting, composition, and architecture of those houses are really great, what i also like is the boat having the blue sky as a background, very clever. well done!

DAM (153) 2005-05-11 19:07

Uh... Mr. Hanssie I remembered walking through these streets MANY,,,, moons ago. How I long to be back. Nice arquitecture and glad it has been conserved so well. Nice to see ya again mon amie.

DAM

MarekP (4744) 2005-05-14 2:38

Nice photo, Hans. I like the patterns on the houses. Very good colours, light and sharpness. Thanks for sharing.

Marek

devimeuxbe (56248) 2005-05-14 8:58

Hi Hans
very beautifull place and your composition is well done. The light is gret and the sharp too.
Nice work really !
Bertrand

HOBO (5244) 2005-05-15 10:14

Congradulations for your splendid selected view, Hans. Once more you managed to show a fascinating corner from the old part of this city. The forged signboard, does it belong to a travel agency or to a pub?
(I must admit, I've never been there...)

papagolf21 (56623) 2005-05-21 4:00

Bonjour Hans,
L'on se croirait en Alsace avec ces jolies maisons à colombage pleines de couleurs.
L'angle est judicieux puisqu'il permet de mettre en valeur ces vieilles maisons et cette très vieille enseigne (du moins, je le crois).
Encore une réussite.
Amitiés.
Philippe

nerve (10212) 2005-06-17 6:53

Hi Hans!
You made a wonderful tight compo. here.. really works with these buildings..They are beautiful houses..
Very graphical, beautiful image.. Congrulations.

joseelias (367) 2005-06-20 13:01

You’re right to refer to these houses as beauties! They are really very beautiful in their details and complexity, and this is enhanced by the very good preservation they have. The exposure is great in this one as many details can be seen in the shadows while the sky is perfectly seen. Some correction in the lens distortion, especially in the right part could be a good option.

Fernik (82) 2005-06-25 16:02

This Germanic style of architecture is amazing, and you captured it very well. Cheers!

Steft (5962) 2005-06-26 14:23

Mooie foto. Ik zie eigenlijk erg weinig van Duitsland... de laatste tijd is het alleen snel door Duitsland en dan hup door naar Denemarken.

Prachtige huizen hier. En wat zijn ze hoog! Mooie compositie. Prettig blauwe lucht en leuke dat er net wat licht valt op het middelste huis en ook wat op het linker.

Groeten

Hi !
Great vertical crop that enhances the impressive aspect of these particularly beautiful houses. Superb colors and contrast allowed by a great light management. I particularly like the multiple lines that create an interesting geometric pattern in the picture. Thanks for sharing !

zeca (20026) 2005-11-12 0:03

Nice picture! Great perspective, well framed.
