[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Old Bridge (Italian: Ponte Vecchio) is a medieval bridge over the river Arno, in Florence, Italy, noted for having shops built along it. Butchers initially occupied the shops; the present tenants are jewelers, art dealers and souvenir sellers. It has been described as Europe's oldest wholly-stone, closed-spandrel segmental arch bridge.

I copied this information from Wikipedia.

I really recommend that everybody at some point in their life take the time to visit the city of Florence.

Hi Lili,
A fine picture of this wellknown bridge. A tad too much brightness, resulting in some OE areas. Nevertheless I like this nocturnal presentation.

ciao lili..
i have Firenze in my heart..
it was my city for the last 9 years.. i miss it!!..
about the buthcers, it's true, in XVI Century they caused so much pollution in river "Arno" that "Medici" (the famous reigning family of Florence) ordered their eviction from the bridge.. in favour of dealers of gold.. that actaully occupate the bridge.. infact if u have noticed.. their stores when are closed have the form of a butchers shop ;)..
over the bridge in the light part.. u have taken the "Corridoio Vasariano" a covered passage that links the exposition palace "Pitti" to the "uffizzi" and to the fort of "Signoria".. used by the Medici in case of danger to arrive fast to a safe place..
the bridge is the only one saved to the sistematic destruction of Nazists during the second war.. when theyy left fast florence for the Allians advance.. they at least have respect for this kind of masterpice that symbolyze Firenze!!
finish!!! sorry for my enthusiasm.. i'm proud of it..
the shot is beautifull.. a great interpretation with so much light and perfect POV..
TFS
ciao Marco

Hello Liliana.
Pity what happened to this picture, think you did some wrong pp work on it.
Hopefully you still got the original, its worth to repost this beautiful scene. Maybe, reduce the sharpness and the colouring ?
Best wishes, Jan

Hello liliana !

Super nightscene of theis icone of the Firenze architecture. Perhaps a bit overexposed but not disturbing.
Well done !

Lovely composition and the over exposure has almost turned this into a high key picture.

Thank you for sharing

This is a beautiful night scenery of a lovely and much interesting place. Night shots are not easy to do and this is beautiful. I just wonder about the texture of some parts of the picture, especially the water. Did you use neat image or another noise reduction device? This is a nice and brilliant picture with gorgeous colors! Thanks,
Claudine

Hello Lili,
Great subject, crop and control of light. I love this bridge ablaze in light, and I like the amount of water in the foreground with its beautiful reflections.
Thanks for sharing,
Karen

Hi fellow catlover!
My god, this is town on a bridge, amazing and very unusual, excelent night shot, very good managed and great details!

Seems to me that a jewellers store is indeed more what you expect when seeing such a beautiful bridge....
Lili, how lucky you were to have been there - beautiful presentation and very nice framing.
Thanks and have a nice WE,
Els

Hi Liliana

dear Liliana,
a beautiful night shot of the attractive bridge,
lighted walls and arches look illusionary,

very romantic atmosphere is nice,
