Da, excelenta fotografie, reflexii faine, imi place ca piata e animata, culorile un pic fortate, dar imi place oricum.

Hi Serban.

The effect you got with that reflection is...impressive.

My compliments!

Hello Serban,
You have done a very good job with the wide-angle and with the use of the reflections in the puddle. The composition of your picture is very nice, I like the bicyclist on the left. Cheers, Dasha
