Photographer’s Note
Charles IV Bridge it's not only a very fine place to visit, walk and take many many wonderful shots, but it's a great place to seat on a bench and admire the opposite side of Vltava river and especially the castle of the town.
Some infos about Charles Bridge:
Named after the Emperor Charles IV in 19th century the Charles Bridge is Prague's most familiar monument. Designed by Petr Parler, it was completed in 1400 and it connects the Lesser Town with the Old Town. Although it is now pedestrianised, it withstood wheeled traffic for 600 years. There are thirty statues on the bridge, many of them have been replaced with copies. Originals are kept in the Lapidarium of the National Museum and at Vyšehrad. The magnificent Gothic Old Town Bridge Tower was designed by Petr Parler and built at the end of the 14th century. It is considered the finest Gothic tower in central Europe, mainly for its decoration. There are marvellous views of the Vltava river Valley, the Žofνn, Stψeleckύ Island, the Old Town and the Lesser Town.

This is indeed a wonderful place to seat and watch...
The picture is clear, sharp, symmetric in its parts, with good depth and lots of beautiful colors
The relation/contrast between the shadow and the light enriches the picture.
and you've captured the flying bird very well :-)

Beautiful shot, like a postcard, well composed with part of the bridge to the left. I like the depth and the perspective overlooking the castle and part of the town. The light is nice, creating enough contrast to turn the people into some nice silhouettes. Well done!

Hi Mpampis. You really utilized the fantastic light you had during your Prague visit to get some beautiful photos. This is another nice one, in which the statues of the Charles Bridge make a nice framing device at the left, and are seen as silhouettes in a somewhat similar fashion as the people in the foreground. Nice colorful view towards the castle, and the flying bird is a fine extra. Well done.

Kalimera Mpampis, nice view of Hradcany, I like the contrast between the dark foreground and the castle hili in full light, I wished you could have been a bit higher to have the Vltava as an additional layer in between. Great shot with excellent sharpness, beautiful colors and plenty of details.

Très belle luminosité et ciel, beau point de vue. J'aime beaucoup votre façon de composer l'image, avec un avant-plan qui met en valeur la ville. Beaucoup de personnes se seraient placées au bord de l'eau, pas vous, bravo! Claude
