Some really great use of wide angle there - love the clear lines of water in the fountain on the first shot.
I like the way you have framed the National Museum with the piece involving old cars, its an excellent use of composition.

Thanks for sharing

Nice set there mate, some of those would take a bit of post processing. I.e. the first one could do with a straighten, perspective correction, contrast, curves and levels.

Be interested in the result.

Some nice shots there ......I like the first and fifth ones, although personally on the fifth one I would have cropped out some of the foreground.

Cathedral was clad in scaffolding when I was there. Gargoyles just don't look the same with metal poles as a background. Car thing must be new. Sat in the square for a while - didn't see it.
Agree about the details. Amazed me how they did the pavement - saw some blokes fitting all them mosaic blocks together.
Felt safe walking about too. Food and beer was cheap. Went to an average restaurant and spent not much more than £15.... went more upmarket after that

RobertP - The scaffolding was there when I went, but careful use of angles and a bit of cloning in Photoshop soon fixes it

I had an emotional short break in Prague the year before last, a magical place, full of beautiful architecture but it holds some traumatic memories for me however I did take some good shots and have really enjoyed looking at yours, thanks for sharing

I've leveled and curved the first one 'cos I thought it deserved it!



Hope you don't mind.
