Hi Andrew. Most impressive POV as it accentuates the yellow bars of the boat which in turn makes the foreground solid and filled with light.The darker shapes of the magasins create strong sense of depth and simultaneously a somewhat constrained feeling which is alleviated by the blue sky. Original to say the least. Regards. Klaudio.

Nice shot and POV

Bonjour Andrew,

Couleur jaune richement saturée, points de fuite symétriques, on ne saurait demander mieux.

Hello Andrew,
The strong and vibrant lines of the boat make a great contrast with the buildings either side. The image has great depth with the canal continuing as far as the eye can see. The dark blue sky adds much to the mood. Superb colours and clarity.

Bonjour Andrdew
Tu nous emmènes en bateau et on a l'impression de faire la promenade. C'est bien cadré et la profondeur d'image est assez impressionnante.
Medrci pour le partage et bonne journée.

A very interesting picture as a document and as a pleasurable composition which shows a fine symmetry and nice colours.
The deep blue sky adds a refreshing effect.
Well done,

Now that is a sight from Paris I have not seen before. Colourful picture and interesting note too. Good pov too (although I think it's difficult to change that much without getting wet ;-)). Have a good weekend.

Your composition works very well here Andrew, with the inclusion of the details of the boat (I thought your long-haired fellow was a girl at first!) in the foreground giving a great sense of involvement - it draws the eye into the scene.
The colours work well together, with the yellow making a good contrast with the blue sky.
Good stuff.

Cheers,
Ben

Hi Andrew,
Very good POV ... it looks like a gaming screen. The converging focus created by the interesting building structures creates an illusion of depth and motion ... very dynamic effect. Well captured and composed! tfs

Hello Andrew
Si Gildas nous avait effectivement présenté de façon superbe le pont, Marc (Morac) vient de le faire pour le bâtiment à gauche!!
Très belle réalisation avec les superstructures jaunes du bateau qui attire bien l'oeil, une composition bien pensée qui donne une belle profondeur à la photo, le tout sous un ciel superbe!!
Très beau travail, amicalement

Andrew the sharpness and definition on this shot are excellent, as are the colours which are both vivid yet natural. The canal looks an interesting alternative to the River Seine cruise we did recently. Nice work.
cheers

Bonjour Andrew.

J'aime bien cette perspective du bateau qui vient s'enchasser dans celle du canal et des immeubles qui le bordent. Le jaune du bateau est très dynamique et le ciel superbe.

Hello Andrew,not a view of Paris that one would expect; the vibrant yellow of the boat is a real eye catcher drawing the spectator in.
The perspective is excellent.I like the contrasts between the styles of the two buildings.
Lovely colours and sharpness.
Excellent notes.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Bonjour Andrew,

Angle de vue qu'un parisien, qui ne prend pas le bateau, ne connait pas.
Tu nous présentes ici, de jour, un lieu que je suis actuellement en train de montrer de nuit dans toute une série de posts.
En effet depuis ton passage en juin ils viennent de mettre en place un superbe éclairage de nuit.
Habitant du quartier j'y suis retourné hier soir et j'ai de nouveaux une nouvelle série de pst à effectuer.

La note est précise et détaillée et le report sur les photos de Gildas et tout à fait bien vu.

Amicalement
Marc

Hello again Stephen,

I like it much also this photograph with this yellow foreground which contrasts superbly with the remainder of the image and gives a good dynamism to the composition. I appriciate the qualities of the image, in particular the good clearness. You benefitted from beautiful climatic conditions for your Parisian stay. Thank you Stephen for the interesting note.

With my friendships and with soon,

Jean-Charles

It was an excellent decision to compose your image with the front of the boat and its driver; a wonderful device to place us at the scene. The very strong perspective lines draw the eye right into the image. Well done

Hello Andrew,

A very thrilling and well chosen viewpoint! (I did change my perception when I read your notes, I thought it was a young lady!)
The strong yellow lines hold us safely in situ whilst the boat speeds foreward. I very good 3D effect.
The converging buildings draw us towards the bridge and the light relief of the sky beyond.

You do live an exciting life!
This is not quite like the outback of Australia! Which do you prefer?

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Andrew,
good thing you told me the captain was a fellow. Thought it was a lady. :-) A wonderful composition with excellent colors, sharpness and depth. Amazing sky too! I missed this while I was in Paris recently, but I'll add it to my list for the next time.
Thanks,

Hello Andrew
This is very a refreshing image form Paris. It is a clean and crisp capture with wonderful yellows to die for and perfect tonal ranges throughout. I love the positioning you chose here with the driver leading the boat way towards the bridge. The shapes from the boat also show very good depth. The quality you presented here reminds me very much of a 5x4 trannie drum scanned with a crossfield. The quality is that good here.
Regards
Jim

Hi Andrew
Excellent view with fantastic sharpness. I especially like how the yellow bars and the "okay" sign stand out. I wouldn't mind going back to Paris some day. Mum took the kids last week.
Yesterday we followed yet another Ds loss on internet.

Hello Andrew:

A great shot, no doubt. A frame too balanced, almost perfect.

Good management of lighting, beautiful tones, high brightness and contrast, but more importantly, the magnificent composition you've done, offering a series of significant contrasts.

Hi Andrew, the strong colours in this image make it work for me, bright yellow moving into the brown sided canal, all overlooked by a great sky. CPL worked well for you here. Cheers, Steve

Hello Andrew,
An interesting note and a striking composition. Very attractive contrasts between the yellow boat and the blue sky, and between the squareness of the buildings and the curves of the boat and the bridge.
Best regards,

Hi Andrew,
It looks like science-fiction ! A spaceship arriving in a city of the future ! The lines of the building are very nice and the colours are great thanks to (I think) the polarizer. A great shot !

Hi Andrew

Very good use of diminishing linear perspective with the canal adding good lead in lines. A striking colour contrast, between the yellow rails of the boat, & the blue sky. Good sharpness too. Tfs!

Hello Andrew,

I like how the yellow structure stands of and contrast the surrounding architecture and blue elements!
Interesting symmetry in composition, and it seems like there is no alternative way to go...
Well framed, strong sense of depth!

It happens a while ago I lived in a flat located along the Canal Saint Martin no so far from this place. Believe or not I have never taken any Canal cruise !!!

That is really a fine take from you, deeply layered with different colors and shapes, these yellow frames make it 3-dimensional, the boat literally popping out of the monitor. What is perhaps the most impressive is how, with the help of the wide angle perspective, every shape seems fitting into teh others like a jigsaw puzzle.

Congrats for your excellent photo!
