Comment from Christine Rohr
This is such a beautiful application of mixed media for this contest. This could be taken now or a hundred years ago. The boats along the canal and cobblestone bridge adds to the effect. The canal leads the eye to the distance. I love the symmetry of it. You have a really creative eye for composition. Quite beautiful.

A gorgeous scene and beautifully created using a pencil sketch. Your pencil sketch gives it good differentiation and contrast.
Very well photographed with good lighting, sharp focus and good details and outstanding ending skills. Thanks for sharing. One of my favorites of Amsterdam!

This is awesome! It presents as a drawing ! I really like the bikes on the bridge overlooking the canal with the city structures runners no along right frame, nice diminishing perspective shot. Well focused, the image is clear, exposure is well managed, I like the black and white sketch effects. This is a great entry for the contest! Best wishes to you!
