Hart & Soul

This is just amazing Ginnie a true postcard shot you should be very proud of this, because I am very proud of you for taking such a fantastic clear shot.
You should be asking companies to cross your palm with silver, no actually gold
Beautiful mijn vriend

I was going to say exactly what Tracy has already said. This is a picture postcard. Your framing and processing are perfect. Look like a 'must-visit' kind of place.

Ginnie is that how you're going on? (London slang)Are you dat! Well done mi like.

Lovely scene!

Tones and colors are great.

I just regret wisp of straw in front of the left windmill.

Gobsmacked!

I can't even imagine such a place. So lovely.

Lovely lovely shot.

Who cares it is a tourist trap, I wish some of us Dutch were not that 'snotty' to go and look at these 'wonders' of our country/world.
The historie of these landmarks is impressive and a lot of people don't realise that if we wouldn't have had these windmills, ¾ of The Netherlands would been underwater, even I live below sealevel.
The way you presented this fabulous postcard is without words again, yep I know, I keep on talking and talking .
I have said it before and I say it agin; the way you are able to present/show my country and show all the beauty of it, makes me proud to be living here.
Tracy said the right words.
Dit is een ontzettend mooie karakteristieke foto van mijn kleine kikkerlandje waar ik heel erg trots op ben, dank je wel, mijn vriend.

I love the composition of the image as well as the tones in the image. It could pass as an old picture.

This has the look of a painting of one of the Dutch masters... This is a likey for me!

un superbe cliché tout à fait comme je m'imagine ce pays. très typique.

As ever, your delicate handling of post processing takes an, already wonderful photograph, to a whole new level. (:o)

la beauté comme on n'en voit quasi plus!

Perfect postcard Ginnie. Two windmills and a decent sky...you must have been in Heaven!

Two for the price of one - great value! I like the way you have framed this with the grass in the foreground. This looks like one of those Dutch landscape paintings with the clouds scudding by.

Ginnie, in Indonesian, this building was acknowledged as the "KINCIR ANGIN " (Windmill / Windmollen). The atmosphere of the very pleasant village and was covered the dramatic cloud.

Excellent photo,I must visit in 2009.

This is very nice Ginnie, your PP skills certainly seem to be improving.

Two is better than one, eh? Very nice postcard image. I see your love.

tourist trap or not it makes a great picture and I love the subdued tones

I love the reduced colour, Ginnie.

Absolutely stunning feel in this - I don't know/understand how you have processed this, but it's gorgeous!

post card material... maybe convert into sepia... I think that would be very nice also

Totally Awesome, Ginnie

A beautiful composition of these picturesque mills. I especially like the mild colors and the minute details (which I always like! . Fine photograph.

Love that antique patina, you've given this one that 50s days gone by feel again. Love it.

Excellent shot Ginnie, one of my favorite of your windmill images. Really a great view of them, interesting structures indeed. Love the tones in this picture and the beautiful sky. Looks like a great place for sight-seeing.

This is a wonderful shot Ginnie, focus, pint of view/composition, mood and processing all works perfectly for me, love it...and LOL@Chantal!

The standing grass in the foreground gives the shot great depth. Excellent composition.

it really is a lovely scene.

This is a great scene Ginnie.

Ginnie, so amazing shot, first of all like the great deepness and sharpnes on the capture, so great PP .. i lift my hat

What a beautiful landscape. A very nice and beautiful picture

Lovely image indeed. I love the colours!

Tracy has got this comment all sewn up, I like the colouring too.

For the first time I heard the nice word "kikkerlandje" (Astrid) about Nederland, and ik houd zo zeer van dit landje that I have to visit it again and again- water, land, sky, clouds, windmills- these are the essential elements of its economical and cultural growth and beauty, and your pic has captured them all. Nederland is for me a green land too, therefore I miss, sorry, the green colour, but I can understand why you have chosen the reduced colours. -Yesterday (on weekdays better than on weekend) I was in Giethoorn- a wonderful, idyllic, pittoresc dorpje (postcard shots!), like Spreewald and little Venice, the grachten are the streets, the traffic goes by boats, and many houses are covered with reet- a tourist trap too, but a 'must'for you!

Her THEN boyfriend, I might add.

This is beautiful, the color of the sky - robin's egg blue - is scrumptious.

Absolutely excellent. The sharpness and the prevailing mood from the conversion. not to mention the angle - either you must be of a very low elevation or you have been crawling around on your knees. You could have been lower than sea level here

Prefer this to todays shot, would make a lovely photograph on a wall

Love the golden browns and mood that compliment this extraordinary scene!

Oh ... beautiful tones and of course a great composition and location.

A stunning shot!!

The processing is really good and so is the shot.. nice job Ginnie..

Very nice colors here, they are kinda musted but I like it, the composition of the 2 windmills in this photo is just right.

ps. i hope the link works this time!

Lovely picture Ginnie, sometimes, if you can get other tourists out of the picture, scens can look very old as this one does.

This has a wonderful muted appeal about it, which presents a timeless quality in the buildings and surroundings. Very well done.

Just like an old painting. A beautiful capture.

wow! wow! Lovely old sight! I like this like a Likey!
