Ciao Roger,
bellissima l'architettura di questo paese martoriato dalla guerra, ma fortunatamente tutto è finito e adesso si respira l'aria della festa e della vacanza.
Il POV che hai scelto è perfetto ed anche il taglio in verticale, bellissimi i colori.
Un caro abbraccio
Giorgio

Roger, now this is a great shot of this bridge. Where so many have tried and failed you have succeeded. The boys at the bottom scale it well, the angle is interesting and the lighting, while stark is very dramatic and fine. Not only that your work predated TE and the destruction of the bridge, great work.

Hi Roger,

I wasn't born until 6 years after you took this picture. Looking at this picture and a few recent ones of the bridge, all I can say is that they have done a good job with the rebuilding.

Nice shot

Cheers

Hello Roger,
Fine composition making good use of the vertical format, which is perfect to emphasise the hump in the bridge and the tower in the background. I think the image suffers a little from over-exposure leading to a loss of detail in the stonework. Could be a problem with the digitisation?

Ciao Roger,
tra le mie vecchie diapositive ho una foto così, scattata nel 1976, molti anni prima degli orrori della guerra.
Questa foto è una gran bella testimonianza, che ci aiuta a non dimenticare...
Un caro saluto, amico mio.

Bonsoir Roger,

This bridge no longer exists. Only the photo saves the image in time. The war has not destroyed the picture, nor the desire to rebuild it. Very good composition, thanks for sharing.

Amitiés
Leonor

Hi Roger,
interesting this old picture, and impressive the height of this bridge, principally because the small people in the river. I´d like of the colours too. Great shot, my friend.
Regards,
Lucas

Salut Roger,
Le pont est une merveille. Tu as eu la chance de le voir avant sa destruction... L'image est vielle et les qualités techniques ne sont pas excellentes mais son charme n'en souffre pas.
Amitiés
Marc

Hi Roger,

Wow, such a document! Who could think in 1972 that this bridge survived so many centuries and would be distroyed in our times??? It is reconstructed but it is not the same... Splendid composition showing magnificent architecture, interesting graphic. I was in Mostar even earlier, in memorable 1968.

Regards

Bonjour Roger,

One of the most known bridges in the world, you show here the old bridge before the WAR in Mostar.
Sharpness and clarity are superb.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

pierrefonds (26659) 2009-07-31 6:00

Bonjour Roger,

La présence des personnes sous et sur le pont a un effet d'échelle de grandeur. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails et les couelurs du pont et des maisons. Les arbres cadrent bien les maisons. Un peut de bruit digital dans le ciel. L'intensité de la lumière met envaleur les couleurs de l'image. bonne journée.

Hi Roger,
They did a fantastic job of restoring this old bridge which looks much like it did 450 years ago.
Love the traditional roofs and mountains in the background.
The people below the bridge add effective scale and lead the eye to the nice reflections.
Regards, Tom
