Very nice capture, Hermann! I like the strong repetition of the gothic & herladic patterns very much here in this very high resolution pic. Its's very rhythmic and the cheerful colours of the wooden blinds form a lovely contrast with all this the masonry. The inclusion of the pedestrian and the cyclist adds a fine lively accent to it. Very fine job!

hele mooie Hermann,
Ik ken het daar ook een beetje en ik moet zeggen dat je wel een hele gave compositie hebt gemaakt, zeker met die man op de fiets erbij, erg goed gezien uitstekend werk

Hi Hermann,

You sure have been to places in the Netherlands. I know this place quite well for I lived here for several years. I like the picture with al the red and white sunscreens. I have tried to ad some sunshine in a WS.
regards,

Holla, was ist nun los? Hatte mich gerade an die unendlichen Tiefen in Deinen Bildern gewöhnt... ;-)
Good composition for an architectural shot, Hermann. I like the muted colours of the stones in contrast to the reds, goldens and whites of the parts beneath the windows. The cyclist adds a little depth. Only thing distracts me a bit is the pedestraian with his dog to the left. But anyway: Good work, get my thumbs.

Very good idea to take a picture of this beautiful town hall! I like the colours and all the details! The daily life aspect, which is added by the two men is very nice too. Maybe you could have cropped a little more of the top, but good picture anyway!

Good repetition in the background! I would have pwaited to get one person in the frame to command an absolute focus. Or maybe you can re-crop this, IMHO. Good picture though.

Guten Tag Hermann,
Dit stadhuis van Middelburg behoort tot een van de mooiste van de Nerderlanden, is oorspronkelijk van Belgische architecture maar zeer mooi in beeld gebracht, de vele details zijn zeer goed waar tenemen.
Prachtig werk Hermann.

Jeppe (18654) 2005-02-23 17:31

I like the fine view and graphics of that old architecture - also the daily life well included - well done - adds extra to the image (ok the dog would have been nice as well ;-) thanks Hermann -a good job.

Hi Hermann
The pattern of windows is very beatiful and the cyclist help preventing this picture from boring. Nice job.

Hi Hermann. Good rhythmic motive you found with the repetition of the windows and the intricate artwork details present on this unique townhall façade. Good color contrast. Nice add with the human presence - the biker adjusting his hat, and the man seemingly pulled out of the frame by a dog on the leash. Well captured.

When I see this picture I feel that I am proud (a bit) to be a real Middelburgernaar;) Very nice colourful photo, very detailed and good composition. I like the workshop of puister a bit better because of the cropping on the top. But this is also very fine work.
Hope to see more photos of Middelburg;)

Gutentag Hermann

I like the repetitive patterns, colours & shapes in the buildings' facade. Excellent sharpness, colour & saturation. The man on the bicycle is a big plus, & adds scale & context. Well done!

hi hermann, one of the best of yours (if not the best), and definitelly one of the most surprising archi shots; very, very good work, greetings, jerzy

joseelias (0) 2005-03-03 11:41

An impressive town hall indeed! I really those flags in the windows. I would just correct that pincushion lens distortion in top and crop near the top of the balcony as I find the remnants of the roof a bit distracting.

elihesamian (26149) 2005-03-09 7:02
