Bonjour Pierre

A 'fire & ice' shot, of contrasting warm tones of the setting sun, & cold tones of the snow covered rooves & frozen river. Tres bon!

Excelent colors. This view is impressive and interesting.
Horizon and sky color are great. Good notes too. Well captured.

Indeed a very curious warm red light in this snowy view, the blue cold has lost it from the red sun.
Very well spotted.

it's not your best shot but with the great note it's a very informative work, and that something we may not forget here on TE, very good job Pierot.

Hi Pierre, a very great note of the oldest port of Canada, the winter day with a little snow on the roofs, the low red sun jets, the tower in the middle I can see the stairs toward above. A very nice winter picture!

Salut Pierre,

Une belle photo avec des bonnes couleurs de fin de journée pendant le "magic hour". Je trouve le bas de la photo sombre un peu dérangeant. La note est effectivement très interessante.

Bonjour Pierre! It is very interesting how only the ship at right is in focus. I'm tempted to think that more elements should be in focus, but that would take some experimentation. The composition is effective here as we peer from behind these buildings to the lovely colors beyond. The building itself has pretty colors, too!

Bien que tu aies publié cette photo avant ma photo du port du Havre, c'est seulement maintenant que je découvre le port de Quebec. La note est très intéressante et les couleurs sont magnifiques. Bien vu, Pierre et ce cargo va peut être au Havre...

Salut Pierre :)

Bien que la photo manque quelque peu de luminosité (bâtiments dans la zone d'ombre) et de piqué, les couleurs rougoyantes du soleil sur la glace et la tours sont belles. Le bateau, minuscule au milieu de cet espace s'étendant à perte de vue, donne une impression irresistible de départ, de grand large vers l'ancien monde. Autre chose : Ta note sur l'histoire du port et son symbolisme en tant que point de départ vers le nouveau monde est vraiment géniale. Et la photo replacée dans son contexte prend à ce moment toute sa valeur. Du beau travail, Pierre.

Bonjour Pierre,
Superbe lumière rasante venant éclairer cette sorte de tour.
L'éclairage du navire qui semble briser les glaces éparses.
Très belle composition avec ce ciel doré.
Un grand merci également, Pierre, pour cette très intéressante note historique. J'en sais beaucoup plus sur nos cousins du Québec !
Bien amicalement.

Hi Pierre,
Nice shot of the port! The colours are very successful with this shaving lighting. The subject is well centred.
Thanks for sharing.

Quite special atmosphere created by the light you captured, Pierre, and definitely very cold-looking scenery I have to say. Nice composing too with the ship making an appearance on the St Lawrence behind the foreground buildings. Lovely colors, too, well done.

For a winter picture the colours are unusual. Such a nice warm red glow on the river of ice, which usually looks so blue-white in winter time. I like seeing the buildings in the foreground as they give such a depth when you look out over the river to the mountains beyond. Great composition.

Nice to watch the golden colours from the low sun, even at 17:15 - thanks Pierre, for showing us harbour life and telling us the story of that old port.

Very good note. It's funny we both are important parts of the St. Lawrence Seaway right now. And both in sunset. The tones are beautiful here, especially over the ice field. It's good lines, also. It just seems a bit soft on focus and low on contrast. Perhaps a little work there would boost the strength of it to pop out more. It's from a good perch, though, showing the mechanical structure rising over the older buildings and then the river flowing out and through the hills beyond. And then the lonely freighter making its way along. Nicely done.

A while ago with a freighter post I saw I thought it would be interesting to see one freighter at several points along the seaway here on TE. From Duluth all the way to Quebec City. I have imagined being on one of these ships passing all these landscapes and sights. That would be a neat way to get an idea of a voyage.

Hi Pierre, I like the warm tones and light of this snow covered harbour scene very much. In combination with the departing freighter is has the character of enfolding story. There's a slight lack of definition in y'r pic, but this doesn't bother me here. Nicely photographed & thanx for the very informative note.

Une note très complète et très instructive merci tout d'abord pour cette peine.
Pour ce qui est de la lumière elle est superbe avec ces petits rayons rasants qui donnent un joli rendu sur les glaces.
Le bateau ajoute un plus a la photo.
Bravo Pierre ;-)

A very beautiful shot, Pierre. The late afternoon sunlight enriches the colours perfectly. Great contrast between the cold colours below and the warm colours on top. Well framed and captured. Excellent note.
