great shot and Edit, Amsterdam is like a beautiful paint

It looks like a painting from an old Dutch master. HFF Herb.

That was the effect that I was trying to get, at the time. Glad you liked it Christa.

I like the shot... not de edit, sorry! HFF Herb

That's OK Isabel. We all have different taste.

Belated HFF, enjoy the weekend. Herb

so this is an unique attempt, i like the processing
HFF anyway

It was indeed. Glad you liked it.

Belated HFF, enjoy the weekend. Herb

I like the look of this image...............all except the sky, which I think is a bit too messy. I think if you cropped to to 16:9 format to lose the sky it would be excellent!

I do like the selective colour though

Haha, we are all different Keith. I seem to remember that the sky was featureless and so I used a mask and selective burning-in. It was all just an exercise really and was never meant for 'exhibition' but I ended up putting it in Panoramio (I think) and having come across it again in my giant collection decided that it suited the HFF group as something different from me. (I'll be putting in nudes next :) ) As you say, the 16:9 format would suit too.

Best wishes, enjoy the snow whilst it last. Herb

No snow here........just rain! Looking forward to the nudes :-)))

gute Bearbeitung, HFF

Thanks Karin.

An Amsterdam in sepia remembered by you...
A painting, Herb!
HBM too!

You have it right Judite.

Belated HFF, enjoy the weekend. Herb

Ich mag die grafische Wirkung des Bildes. Die Farben sind etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig.
HFF und ein schönes Wochenende, Herb!

So many bikes; must be Amsterdam.

Instantly recognisable although I have never been there Herb, A different sort of image from you. Well done

HFF and have a good weekend

Yes, there are a lot of pictures from this area. Part of the reason I made it different. Glad you liked it.

Cheers. Herb

Thanks Dimas.

Belated HFF to you too. Herb

Great post-processing! And yep, I know exactly where that is :-)
Super belated HFF, Herb!

A popular spot I know as I have seen a few from here on Ipernity. Glad you liked this treatment.

Belated HFF to you too. Herb

Oooh I like the treatment on this shot Herb. The last time I was in Amsterdam, every time we crossed a bridge, we were nearly blown away! It didn't stop my enjoyment of the city though.

All the best, Rosa.

Glad you liked this Rosa. An experiment in what one is able to do with a photo here. When you say 'blown away' do you mean with wind? A great and most photogenic city for sure.

Best Wishes. Herb

Yes I do mean by the wind :-)
