Hello Wilson,
Congratulations for this superb view of a street of this very nice city. An imag full of athmospher, an athmospher a little mysterious.
A great prospect effect to the St Nicholas church with this FG on the left (lamp and wall) well selected. I like too the very nice dored light. A very good and beautiful photowork.
Have a good evening,
Roger

Good evening, Wilson.
One of those shots that strike upon sight and keep growing on you the more you look at them. Stunning in terms of lighting and atmosphere, it makes me think of Nosferatu, Eine Symphonie Des Grauens, F.W. Murnau's 1922 cinematographic masterpiece... Outstanding photojob, TFS! Have a good weekend, I'll be seeing you.
Fulvio.

bonjour Wilson,
une photo qui rend bien l'ambiance nocturne et qui semble échapper à l'époque contemporaine. un post-traitement efficace à l'origine de la réussite de ce rendu. un format vertical bien approprié

Hi Wilson,
Wow, what a wonderful shot from Prague. I love the warm yellow colours. It seems to have been a cloudy night but taking night shots is not a bad idea under such condition. It could result in really beautiful pictures like this one. Excellent photo-job. TFS and have nice Sunday!
Cheers,

Hi Wilson.
Very good night time capture, full of atmosphere. Makes me think of old films like The Third Man. Pity the lamp is a bit tilted, but I think distortion removal might have meant cropping too much of it to leave it with any presence. No doubt you thought about it. The detail you dragged out of the shadowy areas is terrific.
Regards,
Andrew

Hello Wilson,
I like the framing and point of view here and the presence of the people. A beautiful ensemble of architecture, which takes on a different dimension under the warm glow of the street lights. Very well done.

Good idea with this frame and interesting effect with a good light capture, nice architectural perspective with a good human presence, just a detail with a noisy sky, difficult with this dark night !

Hi Wilson, dear friend,
you make what you wont with your Canon. The temptation on the limit of the light is quite succesful. Prague is so warm in your picture. Even in December. Many thanks master.

What a difference the people make. The tones somehow give an air of mystery: even menace, and the people somehow look like they are up to no good. :D Very good framing and handling of the vertical perspective. The sky is a bit noisy, but nothing I can't live with.

Bonjour Wilson,
L'image est mystérieuse avec ces personnages énigmatiques et élégants qui parcourent cette rue. On y découvre une architecture intéressante. Bonne gestion de l'exposition. Un joli travail.
Have a nice evening

Bonsoir, cher Wilson,
Cette composition semble sortir tout droit d'un film à suspens ! J'aime beaucoup l'ambiance qui se dégage de cette composition.
Le cadrage a été finement pensé. Cette vue en perspective avec l'église en toile de fond est parfaite.
Félicitations.
Amitiés.

Moody picture in these unique surroundings and a good result for being shot hand held, just the left street lamp is a bit close to the frame border.

Hi Wilson,
Very good sharpen and great golden light. I like specially the light, strong in the foreground, and softly dark in the background. Only by the light, we could realize the deep in this scene. It's too good for that, the people walkint and the cupoles in a very good perspective!
Great image!
Angel.

Hello Wilson,
Superb light management, with the street scene resonating with golden hues, and the straight lights resembling glittering jewels. The cobblestone street, the elegant jetting bay window, and the cupola of St. Nicholas remind me of the 1984 film, Amadeus, about Mozart and Salieri. It was filmed in Prague, as, I understand, so much of the 18th century architecture still stands.
Warm regards,
Bulent

Hi Wilson,
I like very much the tight crop, the straight perspective and the warm moody light, which probably doesn't match the cold weather. It's very attractive graphically, but it also features a quite "nocturne atmosphere", enhanced by the presence of those ghostly human figures walking.
Regards, José.

Hi Wilson
Nice warm lights on the street, well done for this good lights management.
It's possible also if you take RAW pictures to set the white balance if you want to give colder lights.

Wilson,
thanks to the not quite clear design of the new TE site design I am a little bit lost in finding the right sequence in presentation of your work, but that has some positive elements by itself. All of the sudden I got this older shot of yours on my screen and I have to say that this was absolutely worth it. The dominant orange color with all these architectural elements and finally the slightly blurred persons in the right lower corner makes this a real great shot.
