I recognized the location instantly. Amsterdam is so cool. Nice capture and I agree,,B&W was a good choice.
Arie Intveld
Hey, Scott! I walked past Henk’s herring stall several times this past May. No seagulls though.
Well observed and I like your B&W post-process technique. B&W images should have some “hair” on them!
Olga Zvereva
Excellent image, Scott!
HKBlack
Can you blame them?Water,food.WONDERFUL PICTURE. I’ve had seagulls steal a slice of pizza off my table at Busch Gardens in Florida,they were fun to feed on the beach down there though. Thanks for the compliment on my picture Mariposa.
