Photographer’s Note

Zamość was founded in the year 1580 by the Chancellor and Hetman (head of the army of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth) Jan Zamoyski on the trade route linking western and northern Europe with the Black Sea. Modelled on the Italian trading cities and built during the Baroque period by the architect Bernardo Morando, a native of Padua, Zamość remains a perfect example of a Renaissance town of the late 16th century which retains its original layout and fortifications and a large number of buildings blending Italian and central European architectural traditions. The Old City quarter of Zamość has been placed on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.

Witaj!
Ładne zdjątko, kolory kamieniczek prezentują się fantastycznie, niesamowitego uroku całości dodają przechodzący ludzie i ptaki.

Hello Anna,
a wonderfully colored square, the different styled houses with their pastel colors are really catching the eyes.
Definitely I would have cropped a bit of the sky and even with the square itself I would to crop a bit too, the line of houses would receive a bigger impact.
Good exposure and sharpness.
Regards
Knut
