Nice attempt at a juxtaposition of new and old architecture and the corresponding "cue state". FWIW: Unfortunately the strange light tail of the boat on the Amstel (?) and to a lesser degree the prominent positioning of the bus are killing it IMHO.One more from near Central station.
Hermann: Thanks. I been looking at your great architectural photos.

Cheers, Matt
While I do not agree with you entirely (the bus, I agree with), I appreciate your comments on the photos, in general. I think the "whoosh" from the boat is an integral part of the picture.Nice attempt at a juxtaposition of new and old architecture and the corresponding "cue state".

Thanks. For £7.99 it's worth the effort. Although I have no idea of how to make it work.Before you put it for sale, consider the Sony app for such corrections in the camera (Sony PlayMemories ? discover new ways to enhance and enjoy photos and videos) that allows you use do all the stuff without cornerfix. You are going to avail of that app anyway. Give it a try.
It's your picture, so you're the last resort anyway and no need for justification.Thank you for the comment Hermann!
The curved tail of the boat correspondences well with the curved line of the bridge, I think. So I disagree
The comment, plain and simple, proves my interest in the picture resp. the content of the picture (i.e. the juxtaposition of old and new architecture). The critique is meant in a solidary and constructive way. In detail vide supra my answer to the particular point of the light streaks.While I do not agree with you entirely (the bus, I agree with), I appreciate your comments on the photos, in general.

Hi Roy, Not nit picking. Hermann, if I understand his thinking correctly, goes by text book compositions (not meant in the slightest way to lower the value!) that has its own great significance. Mr. Schierbeek is an artist and is quite loose about anything (be it technical or art) and there is the difference.Let's stick to the "fun with" part of the thread, gentlemen...enough with the nit-picking!
Have a great Christmas, one and all.

Vivek: Good post! No, not at all nitpicking. Coming from a scientific background (day job), but involved in cultural/artistic circles as well, it's business as usual for me always struggling for the best. This implies crititique necessarily and it's part of the fun of it. And as always: some take it easy and are quite eager for critical suggestions and others are not: each to their own. Critique always only can be an offer.Hi Roy, Not nit picking.

As the saying goes, "exceptions conform to the rules".
To me both are educational.
Have a great one!
