[Notas - Normas] Nota do Artista
Gouvy is a municipality located in the Belgian province of Luxembourg. On 1 January 2006 the municipality had 4,690 inhabitants. The total area is 165.11 km², giving a population density of 28 inhabitants per km².

The municipality was created in 1977 from the amalgamation of the former municipalities of Beho, Bovigny, Cherain, Limerlé, and Montleban. Villages in the municipality include Baclain, Bistain, Brisy, Cherapont, Cierreux, Courtil, Deiffelt, Halconreux, Halonru, Honvelez, Langlire, Lomré, Ourthe, Rettigny, Rogery, Steinbach, Sterpigny, Vaux and Wathermal. The administrative headquarters are situated in Bovigny.

In the heart of the High Ardennes...

Situated just on the north of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg in Belgium, the 23 villages and hamlets of the Commune of Gouvy welcome you in a beautiful landscape of greenery, woods and rivers...

We want to keep an intact nature...

For the lovers of the nature, Gouvy is one of the richest communes of the country in natural reserves because of the 11 reserves of the R.N.O.B. (Réserves Naturelles et Ornithologiques de Belgique) covering a total area of 40 hectares. Nowadays, if the affection and the confidence of the people of the Ardennes are difficult to conquer, they are big-hearted, proud of the past, nature fanatic...

Having the advantage of being situated in a beautiful nature without pollution, the commune of Gouvy offers an exceptional landscape to the inhabitants and visitors. This is a region where you can find wooded hills, large valleys, little and welcoming villages...>

In our immense spaces, the tourist is not considered as a product to exploit but as a person and the inhabitants like to speak with them.

Today, the Ardennes are no longer cut of this hectic world. The rhythm of life is different and if the people have now a lot of evidence of their past, our little villages could have combined the pleasures of a healthy, simple and quiet life.

Another one from my holyday house there, the depth is great and thed contrast is fantastic, I hope you like the shot to, have a nice day.

Hello Jaap,
A very appealing composition of this lovely countryside. I like the framing from the metal gate and the lead lines made by the grassy track and the river. Very good light and colours.

Dag, Jaap. Een zeer mooie lucht en zeer mooie kleuren op de bomen. De grasweg naast de pond zorgt voor een goed perspectief. Ik hou een beetje minder van de voorgrond, maar de rest van het beeld vind ik heel goed.

Très cher ami Jaap,
Non, je ne vous ai pas oublié, et je suis heureux de retrouver vos photographies, qui possèdent une touche très particulière. Vous avez le talent de nous montrer la nature sous son plus bel aspect. Vos ciels (entre autres) possèdent un pouvoir magique sur le lecteur, ils nous entraînent dans un monde différent et tellement agréable à contempler.
Cette photo ne fait pas exception.
Une photo très réussie, comme toujours.
Amitiés sincères de France.
Philippe

Hi Jaap. The great badge on your images is that you almost always you a detail with water in your compositions, it is a nice characteristic attribute.
On this image the sky has a special impress with these few and very effective clouds and the lightness is superb.
Sharpness, contrast, and colors are ideal.
Have a nice weekend.
Evan

Hello Jaap,
I like very much the natural colors of this photo. You made a great shot under a very beautiful sky. Excellent realization. Bravo.
Have a nice day and weekend
Cordially
Joël

As always you found a wonderful sky to decorate your composition. It's a pity the gate wasn't open but you have made good use of the perspective of the green path to lead the eye into the frame. Excellent quality.
Kath

Hello Jaap
L'effet créé par ces filaments de nuages est vraiment spectaculaire, mais j'aime surtout la lumière qui inonde cette photo et sa très belle netteté, un vrai régal.
Du très beau travail, Jaap!!

Hallo Jaap,

Opnieuw een van die eenvoudige beelden die omgetoverd wordt in een gigantisch mooi decor.
De weg naast het water toont ons een goede diepte en excellent perspectief, de hemel met zijn wolken slierten maakt de foto o zo diep.
Goed gedaan Jaap.

Prettig weekend,

Hello, Jaap,
you shot this at f18 and got this kind of result??? I think you are more of a magician than a photographer.. :)) The way you capture light just always amazes me and the colors are superb. The composition is flawless and I love that strange looking sky. As always, a beautiful shot!! Warm regards,

Hi Jaap,
what so pretty place for your holidays, my friend. The photo show it us with great quality of image and magnificent colors, in a work that as usual has a great lighting and very beautiful colors.
Excellent work.
Best regards,

Hi jaap,
What a spectacular image here. I love your square format - it just seems so right for this expansive view. The composition and colors are outstanding and as usual, all the elements that make a top photograph are at play here. I just love the sky - great cloud formations. Wonderful work and TFs. Gerald

Eeen mooie Jaap, met een prachtige lucht. Jammer dat dit zo zeldzaam was dit jaar. Prachtige kleuren, gefeliciteerd.

Hallo Jaap,
sometimes it is not easy to write something about your ones. This is because it is hard to believe that I see a capture and do not look through a window. A lovely one, calm and relaxing, wonderful clarity. That metal gate is strange in a nice way. A nice view and you can enjoy this often, what a luck for you.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hi Jaap,

Another great composition, my friend. The sky is amazing!!!
Excellent light, nice colors and textures, great perspective.

Yet another wonderful masterpiece, yet so superb in composition and colors, that I do have difficulty in expressing myself.

Ciao Jaap!
I think that this place must be really pleasant,a good place to spend some days.. or to stop there forever, as I did coming to live to Italy north east countryside.
It is a pleasure to look at weather changing, at colors changing there.
In your picture sky is very interesting, and the scene is well framed in the bottom.
Ciao!

Belle photo de ce paysage superbe,jolies couleurs et grande netteté je crois que je viens enfin de comprendre comment vous avez souvent des nuages superbes et filant, c' est le 1/30 de seconde qui les font filler de cette façons, j' essayerais cette possibillité le jours ou je verrais des nuages qui se déplaces pas trop lentements.Merci de vos jolies photos. Amitiés Thomas

Dear Jaap,
it's always with enjoying to see your artworks here,indeed a sharp and fresh view you show us with your skilfully capturing the scene.
What a sky and light !
the boat in the shot is a strong point in the elements here,maybe because of its colors and contrast,also the pleasant green ground in this sidelight is perfect and beautiful.
very well composed,excellent sharpness and details and very well captured,nicely done Jaap.

Hello Mr. Polak,
I love how you make use of the full 800x800 pixels, therefore your images always become enormous and full of nice and crisp details. Here, again the sky is lovely and all are really sharp, colors magical and the boat adds a lot to the landscape. Congrats,

Hola Jaap.
Amazing composition with the rocks and fence in the fg, then the river with a beautiful reflection and in the back the impressive sky. Colors contrast, POV and sharpness are great.
Well done. TFS.
Best regards.

Jaap,
I like the shot a lot mainly due to the clouds and the river flowing by in a curved diagonal, however the foreground with that fence is really disturbing, IMHO. Wasn't there any alternatives for that as a foreground? From all posts that I saw so far in your galery this is probably the one that I'm not very convinced about.
