A second view from the Prague Castle.

Prague Castle is the most popular sight visited in Prague. It is the largest ancient castle in the world (570 m long, on average 128 m wide, area 7.28 hectares). Constructed in the 9th century by Prince Bořivoj, the castle transformed itself from a wooden fortress surrounded by earthen bulwarks to the imposing form it has today. Rulers made their own additions so there is a mixture of styles. Prague castle has had four major reconstructions, but it keeps its classical facelift it took on in the 18 century during the reign of Maria Theresa. The castle has three courtyards and it has always been the seat of Czech rulers as well as the official residence.

Hello Achim,

This is a wonderful city. The castle is definitely a prized element is such a gem. Very nice image with good colours and sharpness, considering is a scanned image. Your point of view was very effective to show us the detailed architecture in the background and the hordes of tourits. Nice work Achim.

Hola Achim.
Una fabulosa vista panorámica de una bella ciudad.
Buen encuadre y detalles.
Saludos, JL.

Hi Achim. If we have something dating back 100 years it is considered historic but there was nobody even in NZ when this place was built! Nice photo. Good sharpness and detail. Thanks for sharing.
Have a good weekend, Paul.

Already too many tourists in 2000... I like the grey mood and beautiful lighting. It's a nice view from a well known place. Lovely line of bright white facades in the middle of the image.
best wishes,

Achim,

well done.

Bonsoir, cher Achim,
Je ne savais pas que le château de Prague était aussi important (cela dit, il y a beaucoup de choses que je ne connais pas) !
La vue dominante est excellente car elle permet de donner à la composition toute la majesté de la ville.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hallo Achim,
super Arbeit mit dem scanning! Mir gefällt dein POV, ziemlich belebter Ort! Der Ast links hilft dabei eine super Tiefenschärfe zu erzielen und dieser weite Blick über Prag gefällt mir wirklich gut. Leider war ich nie in Prag, aber ich hab gehört es muss toll sein.

Beste Grüße
Mark

Hello Achim,

Bonjour Achim,
malgré un ciel qui ne semble pas des plus amicaux, tu as réussi ue photo avec des lumières bien gérées, de la vie au premier plan, énormément de profondeur et de la précision et de la netteté partout.
Regards.
Daniel.

- In spite of the bad weather you achieved a nice composition for this view of Prague, this castle seems very impressive, anyway, it's the impression that gives your PoV, bravo!
Have a good weekend.

Hello,

Très belle vue, cette place avec ces gensl la vue au lion de toute beauté, ce ciel lourd et gis, mangigique.

Bravo et amitié

Nicou

La prevalenza dell'azzurro rende la foto molto accattivante.
Praga è fonte di grande ispirazione.
ciao
Claudio

Your high POV works very well to show not only parts of the castle but also the view of the city below. Despite the heavy sky there is a pale light over the scene. The image has stood the test of time well and survived the scanning process unscathed.

Hi there JFK...

This is a classic shot of Prague - one that we have in our minds when thinking of the great city.

Thanks!

Hello Achim
I remember your earlier post from this place. Your high POV works very well showing parts of the castle & also the view of the city below. The light is adequate under the dark sky & the scan result is quite fine. Good work!
Best Regards

Hi Achim, an other splendid view of this wonderful city, great POV and beautiful soft colors, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hi Achim,

The point of view is showing a downward projection toward the buildings and the river. The presence of the people has an effect of scale. The details and colors of the architecture of the different buildings is clear and sharp. Have a nice day.
