Ceský Krumlov: main square Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is my second picture of Český Krumlov on TE.
It shows a part of the main sqare in the centre of town.

Český Krumlov, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the southwest of the Czech Republic, is a very interesting and charming small town of historical heritage and surrounded by unspoiled countryside.
It has lots of beautiful houses in narrow cobblestone streets and is dominated by a castle stretching over the meandering Vltava River.

As no other town Český Krumlov has preserved its medieval center.
For this reason it entered the UNESCO register of monuments of world significance in 1992.

Hello Paul,
Interesting place, nice shot of the Square with people going about their usual business.The colour looks great helped by the beautiful old buildings. I wonder if it could be improved by cropping bottom a little???.
Regards
Santo

Hello Paul:

Certainly it is a beautiful place, with a great architectural sites in the background.

The colors, warm and tenuous contrasted superbly. The perspective chosen, it is ideal for observing the dynamism of the people, the splendour of the central monument, all within a beautiful composition.

Hey Paul,

Good work, very colorful, with a fine POV and the composition. Gives off that typical notion of a central European city at its best. Nicely captured.

See you around.

Hi Paul!

Beautiful architecture photo and a nice daily life scene at the same time. Great colour pallete on the impressive buildings, great light managment. The composition is good, although I think that it could have been even better if you cropped a little bit from the lower part. Anyway, a great photo!

Best regards,
Hercules

Dag Paul,
Wat een gezellig pleintje, zeg.
De kleuren zijn werkelijk fantastisch en alhoewel je onderwerp zich aan de schaduwzijde van het plein bevond is het eindresultaat verbluffend. Een goede en weloverwogen compositie.
Groeten,
Eddie

Hi Paul,
The setting that you have chosen is very good and successful, I like how you have caught the elegance of these fronts and its beautiful architecture, combining its graphism with the monument and the pavement of the square.
A great work.
Best regards,
Josep

Hello Paul,
Your picture shows nice colours. I can only see you have a little bit problem with the sun lights like me.
I am surprise that you not show pictures from Belgium.
As far as I know, Belgium is kwnown not only from the best chocolate ;-)
