Hi Achim,
I see you're in Albania right now.
Interesting place. I took a shot last year fron a POV more to the right. This is a better option I see.
Well seen.
Regards, Gerrit

Still looks like a very “communist” country, with little traffic. The picture is very good with all those points of interest. It has nice colours and is very sharp.

Hi Achim

Wonderful sharpness, with crisp, vibrant colours. Excellent pov & a marvellous color contrast, between the warm reds & yellows; & the blue sky. Tfs!

Hallo Achim,
das ist ein ungewöhnliches Stadtbild finde ich. Mal wieder Kurzbesuch gemacht am Brückentag. Die Wärme und die Position des Workshops gefallen mir noch besser. Aber auch hier sind Kontraste, Licht und Schärfe gelungen.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hello Achim,
Interesting view over the plaza with a strange mix of architectural styles. I like the positioning of the statue and flag and the perspective along the façade of the ministerial building.

Hi Achim,
Great view on this historical place. Like the waving flag which brings something extra to it, just like the walking people on the left. Sky colours are soft, but add good contrast to the rest of the image...great.
Regards, Henk

Hello Achim,
Very nicely shown place. The excellent picture, and to this the splendid quality of the photo. Colours are lively, beautifully replete, and the sharpness and the depth of the sharpness outright of standard. Very careful photograph showing on the large maturity of her creator.
Best regards from Poznan,
Jurek

Hi, Achim. Your iamge is well balanced with interest everywhere. On the left, the flag, the statue and the minaret and tower. On the right, a colourful building which stands well out against the sky and the block of flats behind. There dioesn't sedem to be a lot of traffic in Tirana!

Hallo Achim,
A good composition that shows us a varied mixture of architecture, of several styles and epochs, but that is very effective graphically.
The vertical contrast of the minaret and the clock tower, with the great flag and the equestrian monument ahead is very strong, and the buildings that surround this zone complete a good image, illuminated well and with natural colors.
I like the capture in the WS, the golden and warm tones of the late evening are fantastic, and even they give another environment to this zone.
Great shot.
Best regards,
Josep

Hi Achim,
So you've been travelling to the land of eagles i see, we don't get to see so many pictures from there so it's good you contribute to diversity, this luminous picture shows well the architecture and has some other typicals about the country, such as the minaret and flag.
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves
