THE quadriga Photo

Photographer’s Note

Further to yesterday's post, here is a zooming on the famous Berlin Quadriga on top of the Brandenburg Gate.
From the colour of the sky, you can easily tell that the photo wasn't taken the same time as yesterday's post!
Designed in 1793 as a symbol of peace, it was looted by Napoleon in 1806, returned to Berlin in 1814 and severely damaged during the WWII.

Bonsoir Estelle,

Un très bon cadrage qui met bien en valeur ce célèbre quadrige. Le vert de la sculpture "claque" vraiment très bien dans le bleu du ciel.
Bonne soirée et à demain,
Roger

Hi Estelle,
I like the way you framed the horses against the beautiful sky. Very interesting note as well.

Bonjour Estelle,

very nice shot of the Quadriga. The composition is effective and well presented. I like the layer with the architecture details and its contrast with the blue sky. There is a soft light coming from left which pleases a lot. Good choice for the soft tones as well. Great job!
Regards,
Carlos

Majestic and impressive, as it is in my mind ('cause I've never been to Belin). The compo and the colors are very pleasant, as well as the details nicely rendered.

Hi Estelle!
Good shot of Berlin's landmark.I like the perspective and that you placed the Quadriga a bit out of the center.
