[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
From inside the Old Town Hall Tower in Prague I am looking down at the crowd who have gathered in the Old Town Square to see the hourly entertainment which is staged in the medieval Astronomical Clock.

On the hour cameras will click as doors open and the twelve Apostles pass by. Then the doors will shut, a cock will crow, a bell will chime and the crowd will disperse.

Hi -
A great shot of people completely filling the frame. Good strong colour - and a unique bird's eye view.
Well done!
Dave

Hello Marlene, very good capture of all these people for this event of the clock turning the hour. Your positioning is very good looking down on this crowd. I like colour mix you have, but I also lie the way the people stand out on that checkered cobblestone courtyard. I wonder how many pictures you ended up on, on this day.

Thanks, John

Hi Marlene
An interesting POV and novel capture. The many red coats worn by the onlookers stand out in the crowd and enhance the photo, giving it vibrancy. TFS

Hi Marlene,

this is a quite uncommon shot from this place in Prague. We normally see images - more or less detailed - of the Astronomical clock...but you surprised us by shooting the masses of tourist waiting for the moment to catch the right photo!

Hi Marlene, amazing composition by great POV with a lot of people, fantastic colors, very well done, welcome on TE, ciao Silvio

Hello Marlene,

A succinct but compelling note, accompanying what would otherwise be a puzzling image. You have some excellent shots in your growing gallery. Warm regard from Virginia, USA.

Hallo Marlene!
Super shot, the view was is fantastic !!!
Greetings from Styria, Wolfgang

How very clever that you framed the woman in the center (in black shirt, with reddish hair) to give focus to a scene which would have been merely a crowd of people.

Hi Marlene,Seem to have missed this one,a real classic birds eye view,the colours of the clothing really stand out. With the squares on the ground the whole scene reminds me of a giant game of chess with live participants.Thanks Tom.

Marlene: there's so much on TE these days, it's ever so convenient and easy to pass over images. For sheer business and creativity this one climbs. I new it had to be from the clock tower. best, c

hi, really nice picture!!
I like the composition of that people gatheret :)

Hi Marlene,
Fantastic POV and composition with the frame full of people and colour. From this image I can feel the anticipation of the tourists waiting for the bell to chime. TFS.
Kind regards,
Michele
