[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hello my friends. I spent a weekend in Prague, enjoying the weather, Czech beer and taking some snaps.

Here is a photo of the Golden Lane, the smallest street in Prague.
This street full of small houses was built in Mannerism style at the end of the 16th century.
The Golden Lane hosted both rich and poor people, artists, clerks, footmen, etc. One of the famous inhabitants of this street was famous writer Franz Kafka in house no. 22 or Prague prophetess Madame de Thebes, who was killed by the Gestapo in the war because she foretold the end of Nazism.

Hello, Wojciech -
Excellent b&w composition with great sharpness despite the low light. The features of the cobblestone lane are well shown, and I like the effect of the "starred" lamplight. Wonderful mood conveyed here. Well done.

Brilliant B&W for low light, the image is crisp and sharp. Brilliant. TFS

Seems like a theater setting. Nice perspective and good control of the light.
Best regards

Hi Wojciech,
Yes, I remember this lovely street very well, I liked those small houses from the medieval ages. You took an excellent nightshot of this street, sharpness and clarity of the image are excellent, moreover the black and white tones look fine as well. I also like this low POV. Impressive job, TFS!
Best regards,
Kristof

Very excellent street scene - all the better for the B&W treatment. A well composed photo and the f18 gives good sharpness and starlights..

Czesc Wojtek! Twoj obyt w Pradze i te zdjecia (zaraz przejde do nastepnego) rozgrzesza dluga nieobecnosc na TL. Mieszkalam w Pradze 5 tygodni w zamierzchlych czasach szkolnych w ramach praktyk i powiem tak - oddales tu klimat praskiech zakatkow jaki pamietam. Odbywam mala podroz sentymentalna dzieki temu swietnemu zdjeciu :)
Serdecznosci, Ewa

Hi Wojciech,
this has been very well exposed.
Sharpness is good too.
Personally, I think some of the verticals on the left could have been corrected with software - this could make it even more attractive.

Best regards, Daniel
