Description Stairs to Castle. Another location where I'm not sure about name... maybe it's time to finaly bought some turistic guide about Prague. You should recognize St Nicholas' Church and Carl's bridge.

This is propably one of my darkest shots. It was snowing, sky was luminated by strong lights I little desaturated it also, to change overal color tone it was too much to red.

Hope you like it! Tell me what you think. Coments, consructive critsm is welcomed

I think you managed to capture a very coherent tone to match Prague's atmosphere, therefore the 'red-like' effect doesn't look overwhelming. Also I like a lot the dark tone (that's, of course, due to personal opinions) and overall I find the picture really amazing, great one!

I love the tone and the way you captured the architecture ans such... and since I'm not all that good at " analyzing" photos in a professional way, it's just nice to look at, and I really like it.

Omg, I've been there! I stood on those steps! Hehehe, sorry, I love it when I have those moments. I got out of America for the first (and only) time this summer, and one of our stops was in Prague. We didn't spend nearly enough time there, and I want to go back some day. Wonderful shot, you've captured it wonderfully. Maybe when I get home for spring break I can find some of my shots from the trip and I can post them here. It'd be great to see what a local thought of them too.
Keep up the great work, this one fits very well in with the series that I have so much grown to love.

Yeah I think I'm a huge fan of these prague series. They keep getting more interesting and I really like how they are taken at night. What I especially like about this one is how you caught the person in motion. With almost a ghost-like apppearance they suit the atmosphere well as its the first time I've seen a person in your prague series. Its so medieval to me and the lighting is perfect... the snow covered stairs is beautiful... the lamposts are perfect.

nice composition. I like the perspective. I love the way the hazy difuses the light throughout this shot.

Thanks, it was snowing and most famous historical buildings are lighted by strong lights. On this shot it works well, sometime are those light beams disturbing..

Almost every tourist who visited Prague Castle propably seen this view. There have to be tons of images... Or maybe it's sort of DeJavu, I feel it sometime when I enter some places with kind of history, but I never experienced it on photo.

Thanks for your words
