Beautiful Budapest Photo

Photographer’s Note

The view from Buda Castle.

You can see part of Chain Bridge and Danube river.
At the background many important buildings of Pest (side of Budapest).
Just behide the bridge the Gresham Palace and at the back of it St Stephen's Basilica.

Gresham Palace or Gresham palota, located in Budapest, is an example of Art Nouveau architecture in Central Europe. Built in the early 1900s, it is now owned by an Irish company, Quinlan Private, and run by Four Seasons Hotels. More at wikipedia.

St Stephen's Basilica (Hungarian: Szent István-bazilika) is an ecclesiastic basilica in Budapest, Hungary. It is named in honour of Stephen, the first King of Hungary (c 975–1038), whose mummified fist is housed in the reliquary. More at wikipedia.

Hi Chris.
Very nice view seen from a great POV. The composition is also well chosen as we see much of the city and still see much of the bridge. The colours are good, and we can see many details. Well done!

Regards, Fredrik.

Salut.
Belle photo, pour une trés belle découverte de cette ville que l'on dit superbe.
Le cadrage carré n'est pas mon préféré, mais bon, une trés belle netteté, un beau cadrage, et une trés belle compo..
Bravo.

Μία καταπληκτική εικόνα της Βουδαπέστης!Η λεπτομέρεια, η προοπτική και η άριστη διαχείρηση του φωτισμού υπερέχουν. Σπουδαία άποψη! άψογο κάδρο και χρώματα μενει το μάτι στο κίτρινο δένδρο στο κέντρο!

Γεια σου Χρήστο!

Πραγματικά εντυπωσιακή φωτογραφία της πανέμορφης Βουδαπέστης, άψογο καδράρισμα και σύνθεση, άψογος φωτισμός και καταπληκτικά χρώματα, αλλά αυτό που με εντυπωσιάζει είναι η "καθαρότητα" της! Συγχαρητήρια!
