The Little Mermaid

No trip to Copenhagen would be complete without a capture of this girl! On Saturday morning we did a boat tour, which included a sail-by of this statue, but of course we only saw her from behind and there was no shot to be had. So, Mhairi and I walked back in the late afternoon to capture her at a better angle! A lot of distractions in the background, so she looked better in black and white, I thought.

Lovely shot and you captured her wistful gaze perfectly!

[Renee Salamon]

So beautiful in b&w - I’ll have to look in my archives to see how I short her now

[Diana]

You did a wonderful job, both capture and edit.

[Boxplayer]

Ah that's all part of that iconic view - the industrial vista 🤣 nicely done.

[Babs]

What a great shot. Well worth returning to get a better photo, looks good in black and white fav

[Lesley]

You did well. She’s much smaller than you expect, isn’t she?

[Issi Bannerman]

@rensala That would be fun!

[Issi Bannerman]

@tinley23 I had been warned about that, so she was about the size I expected! ;-)

[Joan Robillard]

She is iconic

[Gosia]

Great in B&W

[Valerie Chesney]

Lovely in black & white...I have many photos of her but, all in colour.

Beautiful shot

[Wylie]

a lovely shot of this icon.

[Taffy]

A classic! Perfect in b&w as well.

[Hazel]

You are taking me back, Issi. I took a shot of this en route to Germany when I was just 15!!

[Merrelyn]

She is lovely.

[Mona]

I actually like her pensive look, and all whats going on in the background. And of course your choice of black and white.

[Margaret Brown]

Beautiful capture

[Tunia McClure]

Wonderful. You've made the background easy to ignore.

[Milanie]

Wonderful b&w and well focused

[Judith Johnson]

Lovely image and yes looks great in b&w

[Pat Knowles]

Very graceful she is sitting there. Her tail is very discreet, she is a classy bird …or rather fish!

[haskar]

Looks great in b&w.

[Maggiemae]

Nice to see she is still around - part of the Danish fairy tales!

[Kathy]

A beautiful but melancholy sculpture.

[Phil Howcroft]

a classic iconic image, it would have been rude not to photograph her

[LManning (Laura)]

Wonderful sky adds to her beauty.

[Shutterbug]

I was in Copenhagen in 1969 and it was the landmark I wanted to be sure to capture (film back then). You could also add the tag darkroom-landmark.

[eDorre]

Beautiful and good choice for b&w

[Leslie]

lovely

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I am now singing songs from "Hans Christian Andersen" in my head. Good idea to put it into black and white- it works well with the nostalgic look as she gazes out to sea.

[Delwyn Barnett]

Lovely.

[Kathy A]

I hope to visit Scandinavia one day and then see this beauty for myself
