Hello John,
Cycling is the theme of the note, and the green bicycles nearest us attract my attention even more than the usual beautiful buildings. Secondly my eyes are pulled to the red scooter. Then finally they go to the buildings. There is never anything wrong with finding a new angle for a photo, certainly not as long as the photo has the same trademark of quality.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello John,
Interesting view of the facades of these buildings in Bruges.
Thank you for informative note.
Picture with beautiful colours.
Fine presentation
Regards
Piotr

Fis2 (155547) 2019-11-07 12:52

Witaj John!
A very nice view, I like tenements and pavement.
Good framing, colors and composition.
The bicycle parking add flavor to this picture.
Well done.
Good evening.
Krzysztof

pierrefonds (103465) 2019-11-07 15:49

Hi John,

The green bikes are an eye-catcher. The point of view is showing the details of the buildings. The light is giving good rendering of the colors. Have a nice day.

Hi John
This capture really shows how your sensitive hawk eye at work effectively. The striking eye-popping green bikes lends such a fine foreground base. Wonderful range of colours and detail of the architecture giving splendid taste to this street shot and surely irresistible to the eye with good diagonal approach. A shot cool on the eye, Congrats
Best regards

ChrisJ (159954) 2019-11-07 18:49

Hello John

Good sharpness and perspective with excellent colour and saturation. It seems that bikes here are as popular here as they are in Amsterdam! The yellow and red brick facades contrast well with the blue sky. Tfs!

mcmtanyel (58830) 2019-11-07 21:43

Hello John,
Another lovely photo with crisp colors. Those neon-green bikes are eye-catching. 👍🏻👍🏻

Hallo John,
Een prachtige foto van deze straat en de mooie rij gevels, waarvan er geen twee gelijk zijn. De kleuren zijn heel aantrekkelijk, zelfs zonder direct zonlicht. De gifgroene fietsen zorgen bovendien voor een mooi contrast.
Lars

Gerrit (59968) 2019-11-07 22:52

Dag John.
mooi zicht en een fraaie rij huizen. Ik vind ook de groene fietsen op de voorgrond er prima in passen.
groet, Gerrit

papagolf21 (152599) 2019-11-07 23:25

Bonjour, cher ami John,
Toujours là où il faut, malgré les soucis !
J'aime cette composition où ces vélos colorés attirent fatalement le regard presque au détriment de l'architecture !
Amitiés.
Philippe

jemaflor (135344) 2019-11-07 23:44

Hi John,
Well framed, good effect with the view of the perspective, very beautiful facades, tfs.

lousat (129891) 2019-11-08 3:12

Salut John,la perspective diagonale est vraiment gagnante pour montrer les facades dans cette longue vue,details parfaits partout,curieux vert pour les velos que je vois. Belle journee' et merci,Luciano

Royaldevon (75330) 2019-11-08 3:31

Ha! ha! John, as a keen cyclist yourself, temporarily deprived of the vehicle, it's not surprising that you wanted to include a whole line of bikes. But, this method of transport is so popular in Belgium and the Netherlands that cycles must be iconic!
I like how the line of bikes runs parallel with the shop facades and do converge, in the distance, driving our attention inwards.
You had a lovely sky, as a backdrop to the row of eclectic buildings.
The well placed group of figures adds a warm impression of sociability to the street.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Sergiom (117241) 2019-11-08 6:17

Bonjour John,

Très belle composition. La rangée de maisons est de toute beauté au niveau architectural et culturel, en plus d'offrir une très belle ligne de fuite accentuée par les bicyclette.

Amicalement

Serge

rychem (72179) 2019-11-08 7:34

Nowhere did I see as many bikes as there were in Bruges, but Amsterdam no less :)
A beautiful row of colorful houses, a very nice picture taken along the street

Regards Ryszard

Hi John
We don't get as many bikes in Australia with unsuitable roads and greater distances. A good urban landscape.
cheers

Ciao John, great perspective on fantastic facades, lovely composition with parking bikes, fine details, splendid light, wonderful colors and excellent clarity, very well done, my friend, ciao Silvio

ktanska (40041) 2019-11-09 1:44

Hi John,
Those facades have many different style. Not exactly harmonic, but very interesting anyway! Red scooter and green bicycles add colour to the foreground.

bukitgolfb301 (53894) 2019-11-09 4:15

Hi dear John

Another wonderful and pleasent postcard image posting from you. So vivid and clear color touch shot as usual.
I think yellow-green colored byescles play so important role in this nice image. Perfcet farmework and so well counted composition as usual.

All the best and have a good day! Takero

alvaraalto (42234) 2019-11-09 4:54

Dag John,
Fietsen is leuk en is zowel in België als in Nederland zeer populair maar als ik nu naar buiten kijk ben ik blij dat ik er niet uit hoef. De paar mooie herfstdagen zijn hier weer snel verdreven met hevige buien met hagel en een slag onweer.
Dus dan maar even genieten van je heerlijke foto.
Goed weekend, Rob

jmdias (102822) 2019-11-09 11:11

each façade in a different color and style, nice samples of architecture and nice idea to include the row of bikes.

take care

Hallo John, that neighborhood in Bruges has a big parking dedicated to cycles. It is an eco friendly means of transport popular in the city. Shops are found at the street level where as the storeys serve as accomodation. Fine colors, good image quality, instructive photo note, regards.

jimmyjimmy (5368) 2019-11-10 11:02

Hello John

Like the view looking down the street angle. Gives a real old world view. nice and colorful.

Hi John,
one more lovely spot in Bruges!
I have recently bought a book with pictures titled "Amazing places".
There are 200 selected from the whole world and Bruges is among them.
I am so glad I had a chance to see it at least shortly.
You are so lucky to live in such an attractive area.
Great capture here. In spite that the whole scene is in the shadow, there is plenty of light here and the sky is well exposed too.
The bright green bikes add a lovely touch in the foreground.
Very well seen and captured,
M

adramad (66964) 2019-11-11 10:37

Hi John.
A magnificent composition with this diagonal, which shows the series of facades, all different but very beautiful. the bikes give a good note of color here.
Sharpness, lighting, color, and the magnificent composition;
Well done I like very much.
You have a good day.
Very best regards.
Luis.

macjake (96157) 2019-11-13 23:56

Hi John
too bad you couldn't fit in ALL the bikes along the very bottom of the frame...but i'm just being picky :) The sky is fantastic here and is such a strong secondary subject. lovely angled compo to create so much depth, and even with the exterior buildings being in the shade its still very attractive. nice shot
cheers
Craig
