Photographer's Note
A large part of the Netherlands forms the delta of some of Europe's well known rivers. To cross these rivers (and the canals) you can find many small ferries all over the country. Many of these ferries are connected to the shore by cables to prevent them from drifting in the (strong) currents of the rivers.
This photo was taken through the open side window of my car while crossing the Lek river near Culemborg.
This ferry is connected to a fixed anchor point in the river (at the point of the white star) to prevent it from drifting. The small boats are there to protect the cables between the ferry and the anchor point.
The "Reddingskist" (rescue box) contains the life saving equipment in case of an emergency.

Bonsoir Harko
De très belles couleurs saturées dans ce premier plan, les barques qui guident le regard vers l'arrière plan, c'est bien construit!!
Du beau travail

Hello Harko!
Very nice composition, well including the world in the foreground. Good POV! The image is pretty clear and sharp and the DOF is very good. Yellow or gold over blue are always a successful recipe..
Regards from Brazil,

Bonsoir Harko
Joli cliché de ces barques aux couleurs éclatantes qui nous sautent à la figure. L'ensemble est harmonieux, bien équilibré.
Merci pour le partage et bonne soirée.

Hallo Harko,
Deze is stukken beter van kwaliteit of uw voogaande, mooi compositie en zeer zachte en aangename kleuren, met uw F11 heeft u al een goede diepte scherpte bereik, mooie foto.
Ik vermoed dat u de reling van de boot als horizontale lijn heeft gebruikt, ik had misschien de oever van de rivier genomen, dat is natuurlijk zeer persoonlijk.
Bedankt voor uw bezoek.
Prettig weekend gewenst,
John.

Hi Harko,
Creative and very nice composition, it was a good idea to include the name. This detail created an original perspective. The colors are very atractive with the strong yellow contrasting to the vivid blue on both sides of the ferry.
Cheers,
Flavia

It's amazing with language, Reddningskist would probably be Räddningskista. but shame on us, I think we use the English word for it or maybe a mixture Räddningsbox.
Anyway I like typography in photos.
I övrigt är allt bra.

A very nice combination of color with the bright yellow provided by the emergency box. It also makes a strange combination of tradition (the small boats) and modernity (the part of the modern ferry). Excellent sharpness.
All the best,
Emmanuel

Hi Harko,
I like here the lightening power of this yellow foreground that affects the whole image.
Have a nice day,

I really enjoy the graphism produced by the blury foreground. The subject (pretty classical) gets original with that compo and that's interesting. Maybe just a little too much sky ?

Heel origineel 'viewpoint' voor deze foto Harko, maar het resultaat is dan ook heel goed. De kleuren zijn ook erg mooi en zacht. Vorige week zag ik ook een paar van deze gierponten op de Limburgse Maas.
