Hello best TE friends, the winter is almost over, we got different foggy days.
During my cycle trip saw I these pastorale scene with the canal and sheep as subject.
I try again create perspective and reflections in this canal.
To the left are the Netherland borders on 200m, I life close to the border, but borders without that we can see where the borders are exactly.
Lovely rural area, splendid for biking and stroll.
I hope you like it

Hi John!
Your photograph is a wonderful composition of geometrics and nature. You've got a very strong leading line which makes the photograph interesting despite the dull colours.

Well done

Dag John,
De canada's en het kanaal vormen een mooi grafisch geheel om het vlaamse landsqchap te tekenen. En je hebt de schaapjes op het droge blijkbaar, een mooie levendige introductie tot het landschap.

Hello John,
The herd of sheep brings something extra to this splendid landscape composition. A wonderful long perspective along the tree lined canal, which disappears into the far distance in the increasingly misty atmosphere. I like very much the mood and the feeling of peace and tranquillity.

Hi John,
I guess it's quite typical Dutch canal scene with strong perspective created by the lines of trees. But this herd of sheep make this original. I like how several of them have direct look at the camera.

A charming atmosphere here, beside being an excellent composition. The fog and the prevalent brown colour make it very sweet and soft, and the sheeps really enrich the image. It looks like a Flemish painting...
Well done,

A shot very attractive in thumbnail and as much attractive in big format. The first thing I like is the composition with these various colored sheeps on the FG and the beautiful perspective of trees. The atmosphere is great also, very particular with the fog.
You prove with this shot it's not necessary to have an animated sky to make a good shot.
Colors are very harmonious also and participate to the atmosphere.
Certainly one of the best shots of the day.

Hello John.
Charming landscape that transmits a pacific and bucolic environment, I praise POV with this group of sheeps that seem to look attentivly at the camera, very nice effect with the reflections of the line of trees in the channel. The imgen has a great depth with the line of trees that gets lost in the distance in the fog. Precious these soft colors.
Have to nice week.
Best regards.

Hi John,
The presence of the sheeps next to the canal creates a very bucolic image, full of peace, and a bit funny due to the fact that they seem to be looking at the photographer.
The escape of lines of the canal in an elegant diagonal offers us a deep and beautiful perspective, which ends when it gets lost between the fog.
A beautiful work, my friend.
Best regards,
Josep

Hi John,
The reflections on the water of the canal are assets to the composition. The presence of the sheeps has an effect of scale. The point of view is takaing my eyes toward infinity which is giving depth and perspective to the scenery. The trees are framing well the path and the canal. The fog is giving a mysterious effect to the scene. Have a nice day.

Hallo John!
Your region really is very "suitable" to take photos with an exceptional depth. Here I also like the a bit mysterious atmosphere - and of course the main characters in forground. But a bicycle trip in THIS weather - brrr! ;-) One can feel cold and humidity when looking at this picture.
Greetings from Westphalia - under a lot of snow slush!

Bonjour John,
Revoilà les fameux canaux qui ont fait ton succès sur TE ;o) Les rangées d'arbres sont toujours là, les reflets dans l'eau aussi, avec ce brouillard qui crée l'énigme en profondeur. Mais cette fois, les moutons sont présents, et nous regardent. Bien vu !

Hi John,
Ik hou van deze rurale landschappen Polder, vooral als ik ga met de trein.
Ik zou de moeite waard de trein stopt voor een beetje en dan denk ik dat het liedje van Jacques Brel op het platteland. Mooie vooruitzichten met het kanaal en de aanblik van schapen voegt meer aan de samenstelling. Een mooie sfeer gecreëerd met de mist. Bedankt voor het delen.
Goedendag.

Bonsoir John,
Effectivement, ces chemins le long des nombreux canaux qui traversent cette région sont de vrais plaisirs pour les amoureux de la natures quelqu'ils soient, à pieds ou en deux roues... Et quand, en plus, on peut faire des rencontres bien sympatiques, ça ne gâte rien. Ces moutons ne semblent pas farouches du tout mais curieux de ta présence apparemment. Un joli et agréable coup d'oeil avec une atmosphère bien particulière. Merci John.
Avec toutes mes amitiés et une très bonne soirée,

Love the trees disapearing in the fog very far away. Wonderful reflections too. Excellent winter shot that can be so beautiful as a summer version in spite of the white sky.

Hello!
The colours remind of autumn, but it's of course the end of winter. The snow is gone! I guess the sheep want warmer green grass!

Once I did a cycle trip from Nederland to Germany. When I came back, by different small roads, I didn't know where the border was. Only I knew that I was in Nederland again when I reached a main road and I saw some features of the roads, different from the German ones.

Hello John,
beautiful landscape with black and white sheeps and wonderful misty perspective.
Amazing tree reflex on this quiescent water.
Extra colours and POV.
Best regards Tomas

I really like the atmosphere here John, it's like something from a painting. The sheep are a wonderful focal point and the perspective looking into the distance with the disappearting water and trees, is perfect. It's a fine capture and I wonder what it would look like in B&W?

Hi John,
really an outstanding view of this landscape. Excellent perspective and well placed subjects. You waited right for the sheep to be at the third.
Excellent graphical composition, with exciting view and sharpness.
So peaceful and calm location.
Regards,

Hello John!
It's so nice to hear from you!
You composed wonderfully the scene; the life included enhanced the performance, beyond doubt!
The captured atmosphere was surely of your taste and another thing: perspective you love so much!
Warm regards,
Athanasios.

Thanks for your kind words, John
What a sympathic flock giving life to this spectacular array of converging lines, disappearing in the unknown!
Modest colors favour concentration towards the allover laced branches and the many verticals that draw attention on this pastoral tableau.
Many compliments.

Your winter shots are very special. I like how you caught the lambs attention, while it doesn't distract us from the great mood you imparted on that scene.

ciao John,
indietro nel tempo e nella tua galleria per commentare questa splendida immagine generata su una luce molto particolare che esalta la foschia dello sfondo.
Il gregge, soggetto dello scatto accanto al canale, è perfettamente integrato nell'insieme,
buona domenica

Hello John,
this area along the canal is always attractive and interesting, the seasons and the lighting conditions bring fascinating and dramatic changes to its aspect, colours and atmosphere. I love how you've included and placed this group of cute and bewildered visitors in your composition. They look atartled and a little awkward but are so well integrated chromatically and animate the moody and eerie scenery in a very intriguing way. Lovely capture, congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great weekend,
Ourania

Hi John,
I suspect you're talking to the animals, when you are photographing them. They look friendly at you, are paying attention.
This picture I like very much. You have captured the autumn atmosphere very nicely and even the colors of the sheeps fit perfectly into the whole picture.
Very beautiful!
All the best
Peter

Hello John,
The ladies are a nice addition to your trademark scenery. (Around here, sheep are affectionately called ladies.)

Good afternoon John,
A fogy scenery of the canal, beautifully shown in an a skewed angle upon, and those sheep herd alongside.
Some of the sheep were looking at you with the camera.
Despite grey sky and the mist, managed a wonderful perspective with your "trade-mark" of canal photos.
Enjoy your weekend,
Ike
