A vision of Stromness

Wonderful scene!

Thanks a lot Rod -hope you got the music too :)

Cheers, Herb

Superb composition in a great scene and a terrific bit of processing Herb
Wonderful music link !

My thanks Roger. A photo with impact for sure when first viewed. Glad you liked the appropriate music too. I have a feeling that Panoramio was before your time :)

Cheers, herb

Wonderful!

Thanks a lot Erhard. Glad you liked it. ~ Herb

Great treatment ! A very dramatic sight ! Fine work, Herb !

Thanks Ulrich. Another of my all-time favourites here. Very happy that you enjoyed it too.

Regards, Herb

Hi Herb I gave it a big like on pano and I give it a big like on ip. TOZ.

Always good to receive such acclaim Toz. Good that you remembered this one. ~ Herb

Terrific work Herb,, so much detail has been extracted, certainly adds a mood to this lovely seascape.

Another to please you Maurice. I always thought the hdr treatment here gave this scene an even better air of Scandinavian flavour. Glad you liked it. ~ Herb

Beautiful capture!

My thanks again Proxar. ~ Herb

very good!

Good to see you here again my friend. ~ Herb

great selective colours

My pleasure to share Mario.

Best Wishes, Herb

That's great Herb , nothing wrong with being 'arty' when it looks good.

Another to grab you Richard. As a wannabe artist (I dabble with water-colours) I have always enjoyed adding a little bit to nature and mans scenery when I thought it made a bit of an artistic statement. Just like the great landscape painters, their canvas hardly ever reflected everything as it really was. So it is with pleasure I read your comment here. As I do these things, its a case of a little, taste good but too much.....

Cheers, Herb

This is really quite beautiful Herb.................it has a very painterly look to it. The quality of the light is really lovely, especially where it reflects on the water!

Outstanding!

Hi again Keith. The original of this looked a little dry and so I went a little wild with my editing techniques. Fortunately, as was and still is to some degree, I took three exposures of this and so could play a little with HDR. The red, of course, has been slightly up-graded :) A very popular photo that has now been in all my sites: Panoramio, YouPic, Flickr and 500px. Ipernity being the last one. Anyway -I blabber... glad you liked it mate. ~ Herb

I like it very, very much Herb...it is brilliantly dramatic...a feast for the eyes!

Thanks Diana. We have an oil painting of a harbour scene here at home and it has a similar look to this. Very happy that you enjoyed it.

Regards, Herb

Un peu fort sur le post-traitement, mais je dois reconnaître que le rendu est sympa.

Jean-Luc - yes, I agree with you here. I thought that this would be received badly at first but on the contrary it has proved to be very popular. Thanks for you comment and visit here. ~ Herb

... yes, an eye-catching "pop" of red ... a nice harborside view and great clouds ...

(Oh, Andy Rodker told me that "u" must stay in harbours on your side of the Atlantic.)

Ah yes, I have always loved a great harbour view. ( Like you, I have to keep telling my spelling checker not to change it to your harbor) Great that you liked this rather artful rendition. Great that our hobby allows us to do that too.
Cheers, Herb

Yes, I remember Stromness. Nice composition.

A wonderful little town with a wonderful sail-in to this harbour. Glad you liked this memory revival for you.

Cheers, Herb

Hi Herb

I really like this!!!

Superb colours especially the little red house.

I visited Lerwick in the Shetlands many years ago (for work), but that was in the pre digital age, so nothing to share, and nothing anywhere near as good as this anyway!!

Best Wishes, and a good weekend
Peter

Another visit another great reflection from you here. This place was a wonder and I was so pleased to capture it like this, although my seascape shots sailing into Stromness were exciting too. I have never gone as far as the Shetlands and I must admit that it does not look quite as exciting as this but... Like you, I have many photos done in print only -now languishing in faded colours. I think some times, perhaps I should scan some of the many negatives that I still posses. Anyway -glad you liked it.
Best Wishes, Herb

Ausgezeichnetes HDR mit kräftigen Farben!
HFF, Herb! Ein schönes Wochenende!

Vielen dank mein Freund. Ja HDR kann manchmal auch gut sein.

Grüß und Ein schönes Wochenende! Herbert

You create quite a dramatic undertone to the composition, a nod towards stormier times perhaps... A splendid shot!
