Happy&Better 2006 Year, a photo from Brussels, Brussels

Photographer's Note

First of all my sincereally Wishes for all of a happy finished ending of 2005 and my votes of a Great and much Better 2006 year with all the best possible for everybody in the world.

IMPORTANT Note: This picture was taken by a non digital camera, and this is a scanned image of the original taken by a not so recent Camera, that was reduced and with a touch of Neatimage for clear some possible noise. I have also in the WS-Worshop the same image without the noise reduction by Neatimage and a Google View of the Local I took this one.

This capture was taken at night in Brussels in July/2004 year when I had a international work meeting there. This shot was taken after dinner, after the work meeting and near the famous Grand Platz-Place where many colored artificial Cows at the central streets where in a public exposition. I saw this meeting friendly member observing the cow and I asked to make the picture and He accepted to CAUGHT the COW for us, :---)

This is a similar version of a post that I did at TL in the begining of 2005 year, but as I don't post for a large time in that WEB I decided to post now at TE, because is funny and appropriate for this Year Event moment, that I hope to be better to all.

INFO: This picture now makes part of a new Theme that I recently create "European Street Moments" that you can see in my associated info post.

If You want to see the near Local where I took this picture, You can see the MAP View or I give You also a Google Map with a reference CAMERA ICON here: Link

Here YOU have my symbolic picture and my sincereally Wishes and Votes to All of YOU of a Great New 2006 Year.

Thanks to ALL of YOU and the Best to you All.
Fernando

Bem Fernando, nγo sabia que ainda ia postar, por isso aqui vai as minhas felicitaηυes por esta imagem bem prσpria para o dia de hoje.
Adoro a ideia desta exposiηγo das vacas coloridas e gostava imenso de a ter visto ao vivo. ΐ falta de coordenadas, desta vea temos um mapa do google - muito bem! Que tempγo deve demorar a fazer cada um dos seus posts...
Acho muita piada ao pormenor do sinal de proibiηγo lα atrαs. Gosto do espνrito da foto e soluηγo decorativa desta vaca.
Atι para o ano,
Ricardo

Hi Fernando. You scanned this quite well and the image quality is so high that I wouldn't even have known it was from a scan. I like the vivid colors too. Happy New Year Fernando!

aloyho (6798) 2006-01-01 1:01

Hi Fernando,
A Happy New Year to you and your family!!
What an artistic and colourful cow to start the new year. Indeed there is great symbolism here with the cow promising adundance and the colours for an exciting year ahead. The lighting is perfect and the round white spot well placed. Congratulations!!! Have a great day ahead.

Funny upload of this colorful cow, with a graffiti-like decoration. You bring us a happy smile. I hope you can stay smiling throughout 2006!

A colorful and fun picture to celebrate the new year. Nice catch.

barrufeto_77 (28888) 2006-01-02 4:38

Hi Fernando.

Jajajaajajajajajajaja. It's not important if the image is scanned or not. It's a strange picture but I like it.

The cow is impressive...jajajajajaajaja again.

Only a question: What is your job because if this is what you were doing in an international work meeting I'd like a job like yours... :P

Regards, Oscar

PS: Happy 2006 too!!!

Happy New Year Fernando. Very good capture. This is a great colorful photo; a perfect photo to bring in the new year.

Best wishes for a happy new year.

Cows now also popping up in Belgium, heh :-) Soon the time will come that we simply cannot associate them only with Switzerland ;-) Thanks for showing me a piece of Belgian street culture - and once more, my best wishes to you, Fernando!

jemaflor (146206) 2006-01-02 12:07

Hi Ferenando,
Funny and well captured, Happy New Year.

pitai (3985) 2006-01-02 13:47

Ola Fernando. Eu acho k que tem feitio um σtimo trabalho ao escanear a imagem. Nem parece mesmo, tem tγo boa qualidade quanto uma foto digital. Eu nunca consegui obter um resultado tγo bom. Nem aumentando a resoluηγo. Em quanto a foto gostei do simbolismo e colorido. Um bom ano tambιm para si, e os meus melhores desejos para que este ano seja um cheio de logros e coisas boas. Abraηo de seu amigo, Gabriel

Jeppe (18654) 2006-01-02 16:37

Ola Fernando

I still got a cow photo which I must concider post (quality or not) - I like this happy photo to start 2006.

May you have a great new year with lots of great shots.
Jeppe

faubry (35447) 2006-01-02 16:41

hello Fernando, very funny shot, good light!! and colorful.. i like a lot
thanks for sharing
francine
happy new year 2006

fverde (1699) 2006-01-03 4:21

Olα Fernando!
Esta foto ι bem sugestiva da ιpoca que atravessamos. A exposiηγo estα fantαstica, com cores muito suaves e bem definidas, que contribuem com um grafismo muito interessante para a composiηγo. Como o Ricardo referiu, o pormenor do sinal de proibiηγo, contrastando com o fundo escuro da imagem, acrescenta maisa um motivo de interesse. Espero que tenha entrado em 2006 com o pι direito. Ficamos a aguardar por mais fotos excelentes como esta. Abraηo!
Fernando.

pablominto (53746) 2006-01-04 5:10

Hello Fernando...
Funny & colourful greeting! And of course a belated HAPPY 2006 to you too! Take care, go out there and make your dreams come true!

Hi Fernando,
At first a happy new year for you and your family. What a nice surprise to see this new years cow back. It was quit a puzzle to locate it but after I put up my Sherlock Holmes cap I found it backhere
Indeed a picture worth a larger audiance.
