off the bridge, a photo from Prague, Bohemia

Photographer's Note

Prague - from Charles Bridge.
I tried for three days to photograph the bridge with some people in it - eventually I gave up, as it was always too crowded to compose a decent shot.
So I used the bridge as a platform to take pictures from, at different hours and with different kinds of light.
Needless to say that the early afternoon was my favourite time of the day, with its strong contrast and the beautiful play of shadows and light :)

Hi Cristina. Your Eureka moment and a very successful one providing you with unique POV filled with zigzags, parallels, triangles, squares, pyramids all marked by strong shadows and lines. Ciao. Klaudio.

Hi Cristina

You've changed your PoV due to the adversity, and now you managed to get a lonely walker and her long shadow in a maze of stairs and iron railings.
Wel done

ciao Cristina molto bella questa foto dove le scale creano un setting molto originale, le ombre ben contrastate e il soggetto al centro fanno il resto
