John (Rozem061): I gave it a try! Although flowers are, even to me, really beautiful am I, as a retired seaman, not used to cope with them. That's the reason that I've, up till now, not posted any flower image. My good friend John said to me: "You'll give it a try." See this image as a kind of compromise. An old boat full of flowers, 'found' at the border of a village in Zeeland, the Netherlands. Hope you'll enjoy this image. If so, I will post tomorrow an overall view of this spot.

Well Cornelius, I'm glad you gave it try! Your wife must be proud :-) lol. I must say you did a great job with this beautiful and colorful capture. I think you overcame your fear of flowers :) Thanks for sharing my friend!

This is a wonderful first flower photo! Everything about it captivating - presentation - color - your story behind it....! Looks like you're on your way to flower-dom! Thanks to John for his encouragement! :0)

'to start press any key ! Wheres the ANY key ?
Very nice, beautiful photo of the flowers. You don't need any special talent for that Cornelius (even retired seamen can do it!:). You don't even have to go looking for flowers - you only have to live in the Netherlands! :):)

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
haha - and a great compromise it is. It's a lovely and unusual image. Glad you gave it a try. You'll be posting flower pics before no time. ;)

Several of my photos are available for purchase in larger format at Shutterpoint, and some are available in high quality framed prints at http://djholmes.imagekind.com/
Ondanks je twijfels is dit eigenlijk nog een prima foto , Cornelius.

Today will be the first day of a new future.
I like the composition Cornelius, it is quite romantic! ...and it is good to try photographing things that we do not normally photograph! This is very pretty indeed!

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.
What a great use of an old boat. I salute you for trying something new to you and to the creator of this floating garden, my hat's off to them as well. :)

"You may forget.
But let me tell you this:
someone
in some future time
will think of us."
the 'old' man and the flowers *LOL*
a very nice compromise I must say, I also enjoyed your flowers from yesterday. Please excuse me for not responding there but I had a lot of 'no-time' this week :o))

If you have some minutes why don't you come visiting my gallery ?
If they would deliver flowers here in Vienna like that, I would be very happy to become their costumer. I would enjoy the boat with the flowers and my husband (Chris/boremachine) would be able to take shots of it. Smile. Your capture of this is very nice, the image just caught my attention and I had to tell you, how much I like it.

I would be happy, seeing you in my galerie. Today I've posted Sunny Stairs.
Good try, now you have the best of both worlds. Nice pic.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

What a beautiful composition! You've also given me a new idea for displaying flowers. I've never seen a floating garden before,

I saw this flower boat in another photo, it might even have been one of yours Cornelius. I like simple compositions like this because there are no distractions. The boat’s isolation also raises questions in the viewer’s mind, which is always the sign of a powerful image. Perhaps its a sailors garden?

There are three colours, Ten digits and seven notes, its what we do with them that’s important.

Mooi he!!
Ik heb dit al verschillende keren gezien in vijvers. Het geeft zoveel gezelligheid. De vijver leeft! Ik heb je andere foto ook bekeken en ze zijn schitterend. Ik ben ruim 30 jaar gelede in Middelburg geweest, met de Tierentoer van de NS. En je keek heel anders tegen alles aan. Nu waardeer je het veel meer.
Ik ga volgende week met vakantie en wij zullen de Biesbosch gaan verkennen, ben er nog nooit geweest. en wie weet komen we ook nog in Zeeland. Wij hebben 2 brommers en daar gaan we mee toeren. Dit doen wij al voor het 6de jaar. Brommers en koffers geladen en rijden maar. Wie weet waar we allemaal komen. We gaan op de Bonnefooi.
Groet Wil

If you love something, set it free.
It it comes back to you, it is yours.
If it does not, it was never meant to be.

Oh, what a beautiful post. I have never seen anything like this before. So wonderful to see all those lovely flowers in a boat in the middle of the water. Great shot!

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

What a great use for an old boat! I haven't seen one in the water like this before; in my town there's a home that has an old rowboat "sunk" in the front yard and it's filled with flowers.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
You were saying, you have no feelings for flowers ?
This is awesome!, Stunning, and so very,very, beautiful,
I can't look at it with dry eyes
This is a real 'winner' Cornelius!
My great compliments!
John
