KoPi  dank je. met de tijd verliezen veel fotos hun glans. van de meeste van mijn eigen fotos heb ik geen al te hoge pet meer op nu. Gelukkig geldt dat niet voor deze :-)
Papafrezzo  heb ik ook... ben momenteel bezig om mijn fotoverzameling op te ruimen, en krijg nu weer foto's van 2-3 jaar geleden onder handen, en dan zie ik heel wat dingen die ik nu anders zou doen. Maar ja, dat is een deel van het proces.

KoPi,

This picture has it all - a fine tonal balance, dynamism, the human touch, graphic lines and elements - a picture in a picture in a picture.

Very well done - a Favourite of mine.

Thanks for putting it here on OE, where we can all enjoy it!

I like his photograph, particularly his work in general have an excellent quality. The grey scales and sharpness are exceptional.

Greetings.

Pardon my google translation.

Me gusta mucho su fotografía, todo su trabajo en general tiene una excelente calidad. Las escalas de grises y la nitidez son excepcionales.

Saludos.
Koen Pieters  gracias Pancracio, y no te preocupas; con el poco di espanol que me recuerdo de mis anos en la Republica Dominicana, y su 'translacion' de google, te entiendo muy bien :)
Gracias otravez :)

Thank you again. Had looked at about a hundred photos in the street section before uploading it, and was frankly flabbergasted at the high quality of the photos. Don't think there was one in there that I wouldn't have loved to have taken myself, and dont't think there were many that I actually could have taken. So impressive it frightened the hell out of me. Think I uploaded the window cleaner in the faint hope it might get accepted, but more just to get the rejection over with and move on. And then I get these reactions :)
What are these "unique views" btw ? The number of different people that looked at my photo ? Or the number of times I looked at it ? The former just seems so much. The latter could well be accurate though :)
Thanks again. Must think about that other upload, allthough at the moment a Terence Malick-like disappearance for 20-something years seems most desirable :)

Thank you again !

thank you.

... sorry if I don't say too much. I'll wake up and the dream will be over if I say too much.

(... so the above isn't meant for whoever it is that makes me dream this... nor at these people in my dream who say these nice things... just murmuring to myself here... no need to wake me up.)
