Grappige woordspeling in je titel Jen. is dit dan een scheepskerkhof of gaan ze ginds niet erg zorgzaam met hun gerief om?
Mooi in beeld gebracht!
Fijne dag nog,

Alain

Hoping you didnt really count the masts..lolll
The late sun made it all more soft and like natural colours...its funny how some shots stay in mind..
About the aspects, as I wrote above indeed I wasnt sure how to handle this one, somehow I wanted to keep it square...and didnt want it half half, didnt know to cut the wood off, I think I was sitting there low....it crossed my mind to take off, but and didnt want just a static shot, soooooo...have been thinking a lot about it:))

The sky is indeed very dull but also making it more quiet against all the strong colours, it wouldnt have been great with moody clouds, I loved the contrast and as a square it...welll..you might have been so right, now more confused even...lolll
I did suggest it myself at the top already, me doubting soul:)) Hope I can sleep on this...you sleep well, night! xxJen

Jen van Wijn Jen van Wijn   {K:24075} 4/9/2008
Its great to know that you will keep it for me, so I'm sure you will have this when I loose them:)
Rust is something I did find all over the world, in small and big details like this...hope you will show me some here soon of your boats?!! ;))
Thanks and sleep well, Jen

Had the same here, my camera isnt good enough, wishing I had a better one as well:) Those colours looked amazing with the sunlight on them, rust is something strange, iron and oxigan, salt and water...you get these very different layers of rust...but nothing new for you:))
Thanks a lot and sleep well, Jen

Hai Riny, is inderdaad in Suriname, heel bijzonder om te zien, er is daar niets dat werkt of klopt, geen straat ok of zonder gaten, alleen de gouveneurshuizen uiteraard, verder is de infra structuur volledig zoek, zo jammer, want het is daar heel mooi! Die boten zijn gewoon afgeschreven, bakken roest maar de kleuren zo mooi in dat licht:) Trusten, Jenxx

Poor Keith, isnt it Nicki, he might need some oil to get it all going...lolll Rust roest, we say in Holland, meaning: if you stand still you will rust, soooooo lets chase him Nicki..:))))
Sleep well dear, big hugs and sweet dreams!! Jenxx

Isnt it amazing what rust can do to iron...dont know what will happen, nothing I think at the end....Its a country with no infra structure, no good road, very bad kept old Dutch colony, left behind...nothing to be proud of, lots of poorness too! Hope you slept well dear, have a great day, I will go now:)) big hugs from niecie Jenxx

Thanks a lot dear Matteo, the sea is something unexspected, never know what happens with water,
boats are part of it, cruel how th salt touches
the iron, but giving it beautiful colours in stead!
This was afternoon, watching the sun and having this breeze, glass of wine...mmmmm...will dream on that;)) Sleep well, xxJen

AJ Miller AJ Miller   {K:49168} 4/9/2008
Six boats and ... 132 masts! There's a lovely light here that enhances the tone of the rust. The boats make for a very attractive composition.

There are two aspects I'm wondering about:

First of all, I find the straight thing in the foreground a little harsh and intrusive. With water below it, I can't quite work it out. Perhaps you could crop the water at the bottom, or maybe even all the way up to the top of the quay (if that's what it is).

Second is the sky. There's a lot of it and it's a rather dull grey. Now, if you crop off the bottom as suggested above, the sky comes into its own and offsets the colours of the boats. Alternatively, if you leave the quay in at the bottom, you might consider cropping off some of the sky.

BEAUTIFUL!
I love the sea and love people who work on the sea.
I don't know if you took it in the early morning or afternoon, anyhow your picture communicates me the quietness and deserved rest after a fishing day... having a beer, looking the sunset
GREAT!

I did feel the same for the colours too dear Nicki, they looked amazing, like fit together,
happy flags, I have the same with rust, even the
smell is different, don't you think so?
I saw a rusted pipe on the beach last time in
Capetown, with tiny holes, had to make lots of
shots..lolll will show you later...
Will send you warm hugs, take care!! Kiss Jenxx
