The Untertorbrücke, a photo from Bern, West

Photographer's Note

The Untertorbrücke is a stone arch bridge that spans the river Aar at the easternmost point of the Enge peninsula in the city of Bern, Switzerland, connecting the Mattequartier in the Old City to the Schosshalde neighbourhood.

Built in its current form in 1461–89, it is the oldest of Bern's Aar bridges, and was the city's only bridge up until the middle of the 19th century. It is a Swiss heritage site of national significance (Wikipedia).

Please post comments, i really needs them to improve my photography techniques! Thank you!! ^^

Ciao Luca
This is a very pleasant shot of our capital city, bathed in a warm golden light. Your elevated POV gives a good overview over the Mattequartier and the old Untertor bridge. The well spaced 70ties houses on the slope opposite shows the relaxed and provincial feel of Bern.

Now concerning your request for comments, I had a look at your profile. You joined TE in 2007 and have uploaded a total of 20 pictures only? Furthermore you have written only one, I repeat, one critique in all this time. If you hope to get more feedback from the TE community, you have to be more active and write critiques yourself. Otherwise, you will simply be overlooked in the vast amount of pictures here.

have a great sunday and greetings from Basel
Daniel

ciao caro amico bella immagine della berna ripresa durante il freddo inverno
da questo ponte ho scattato anche io ma una foto molto bella l'ho fatta dal ponte che hai ripreso
se la vuoi vedere è nella mia galleria
ottima la prospettiva sulla città vecchia con i tetti innevati e sullo sfondo il quartiere residenziale
se vai d'estate vedrai centinaia di bernesi tuffarsi nel fiume e farsi trascinare dalla corrente molto divertente

Hello Luca,

A lovely soft winter picture with a little bit snow on the roofs.
I like the bridge and arches and long river.
We get a lovely panoramic view about these area
This care for depth and perspective.
I like the different constructions on the church and tower.
Your colors are attractive and excellent composition.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice Sunday,
John.

Hi Luca

A beautiful winter photo from the Swiss capital. You have chosen a great high POV to get a nice overview over this part of the city. The warm light is great and brings out beautiful colours. I do also like how you have composed. If I should suggest any changes here, it would be a less tight framing in the left part and bring the church slightly over to the right, but I wouldn`t change anything in the right part, so perhaps a slightly wider view. This is just minor adjustments, hope you don`t mind. I really like this shot. Beautiful work:) TFS.

Greetings, Erling
