Photographer’s Note

Pravčická Brána(eng. "Pravcice Gate", ger. Prebischtor) is the largest natural stone bridge on our continent and a natural monument of our country. It is considered the most beautiful natural form in Czech Switzerland and is the symbol of the entire area.Its dimensions are remarkable, although when looking at it close up it seems bigger. The span of the arch at the bottom is 26.5 m, the height of the opening is 16 m, width 7-8 m, minimum thickness 3 m, and the surface area of the bridge is 21 m above its base.(www.pbrana.cz)

Really beautiful location Jan, the arch bridge is truly impressive. But to be honest, I didn't even notice the arch before reading your note. I think the tree on the left in the foreground is distracting, and takes away from the star subject of your photo, the arch. Perhaps taking it a bit closer without the tree would make the arch stand out a bit more.

Good morning, Jan!
Wonderful! This is one of the destinations I still have to visit. You have chosen an advantageous angle for taking this picture and I like how you show the gate in its surroundings. An overall good composition!
