[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the lower part of the astronomical clock located in the lower section of the Old Town Hall in Prague. It consists of a calendarium and symbols of each month and scenes from the life of rural people. To one side of the calendarium is an angel representing a fair rule over the city.
I took this picture very early in the morning just in time to see the sun turning the angel into a golden glow.

The title is loaned from the song "Send Me An Angel" by Scorpions.

I wish you all a Happy New Year.

I like the composition of this - with the centre of the dial on one side and the sculpture on the other side, and the huge curve of the dial dividing the frame. I've seen other pictures of this clock, but never this close, so the detail is amazing. Well done!

Hi Christian,
A good capture of this amazing clock. Good cropping as well. The brightness on the angel looks so touching.. Well done...
I wish you a happy new year...:))

Hi Christian,
This is a very precise moment, with the ray of the early sunlight, just to illuminate the Angel. A very nice compo of this clock. I suppose that the little gold piece on the top of the circle indicates each day of the year.
If you have a photo of the whole clock, you can post it as a WS, to see how is it.
A very good choice to finish this year.
I wish you a happy new year too!

This is a beautiful shot with nice contrast and clarity. You have well made use of the light here.

Hi Christian
I like the way you made this picture with a short fame. The light is great on the statue.
It's a nice picture for a nice place.
Happy new year.
