[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Gamla stan is the old town of Stockholm. It consists mainly of the island Stadsholmen, but also covers Riddarholmen and Helgeandsholmen. Gamla stan is also referred to as the "town between the bridges".
The town dates back to the 13th century, and consists of medieval alleyways, cobbled streets, and archaic architecture. North German architecture has had a strong influence in the Old Town's construction.
Stortorget is the name of the scenic large square in the centre of Gamla Stan, which is surrounded by old merchant's houses including the Stockholm Stock Exchange Building. The square was the site of the Stockholm Bloodbath, where Swedish noblemen were massacred by the Danish King Christian II, on November 7, 1520. The following revolt and civil war led to the dissolution of the Kalmar Union and the subsequent election of King Gustav I of Sweden.

Hi George, a great colorful view today. the facades are well composed in the image, with the double perspective up and down the roads and with a wonderful sky and good quality on light and colours.
excellent POV.
thanks, ciao

Hi George, hope you are well. Love the depth of colour in all elements here. You have chosen your composition carefully with the road leading the eye upto to this building further enhancing and catching the colours of the sky with the greenery to the right. Well composed and wonderfull point of view and perspective. Well done. greetings.
regards
Lynette

I like how you composed this bright, colourful image, with the wall and curving pavement filling the foreground nicely.
I feel it's missing something. maybe a person walking uo the shadowy side of the street would have given it a bit more life.
Even so, I think this is a good shot, and it shows this attractive townscape at it's best.
Cheers,
Ben

Hello George,

Well framed scenery, the point of view is great and gives great sense of depth in the composition!
Lovely details, nice to see people there!

Hello George,
excellentes couleurs et lumières, la météo très favorable évidement, mais encore faut-il bien gérer l'exposition. Un cadrage précis et un POV bien choisi qui montre la montée.
Best regards.

Hi George,

I love here the reflections on the windows! I think that a close photo showing only the windows and the blue sky will gave a intersting photo too.

The colors here a fantastic, and the POV showing that corner gave a nice perspective.

Abraços
Andre

I love the color of the sky and the buildings it makes for a very intriguing picture. The walkways look like they'd give quite a workout.
Thanks for sharing
Christan

Hi George,
Well taken this pov, interesting effect with reflections on windows, good light bcapture even these houses are in shade.

Precious little time to catch up with my favorites. Great color blocks contrasting with a nice summer sky, interesting pov and eye lead along the switch back of the street, and moving from shade to light.
Cheers
Otto

Interesting point of view wich the daigonal stepping street. The colors are beautifull again and you managed to get really excellent releflexions on the windows. Nice cloudy sky.

All the best,

Emmanuel

Greetings George.
A really great composition here George. I like very much the angle of the road as it quickly cuts back into the picture. The shot is perfectly balanced and the reflections of the clouds in the windows are very well done. Excellent colors of the buildings and nice straight verticals. Very well done,
Chris.
