Photographer’s Note
After some weeks of hard work I can't resist thinking about some of the most beautiful recent holidays.
This shot was taken on Prague Karlsbridge, during one of the most lovable night spent in the Czech Republic.

Hi Giorgio,
I like many of your photographs in TE, and also respect your talent but I can only give you 1 smilie point on this shot. The atmosphere had a lot of potential, its such a shame that it didn’t work out to an optimal effect. A couple of points:
I suspect you didn’t use a tripod, just sat the camera down on the bridge side as stable as possible (this technique works quite often and I do it myself) but the architecture in the background is slightly blurred. The lights on the bridge are too bright and large for such a long exposure and distract the scene and the shot is overall a little grainy, (maybe too much post processing?)
Dont get my wrong, I believe it would have looked beautiful and you tried to capture the scene, but I think a little more patience and review of the shot while at the scene would have improved it.
A place further away from the lights, and a stable positioning of the camera and a larger f may have optimised this shot.
Thanks for sharing though!
Just trying to help, hope you dont see this too negative!
:-)
Kind regards
Paul

Hello Giorgio,
I like the evening atmosphere!
The warm artificial light makes the scenery inviting, presented in this well framed panorama...
Attractive motion blur in the passing people, maybe a bit better sharpness in the architecture?
Greetings,

Prague is a lovely city, especially in the night light, and that's what you pic reminds me. Hard realization conditions but you did it pretty ok.
