Prague, Czech Republic

U Fleku, the oldest Czech Brewery in Prague… also a fantastic beer hall, apparently, though we didn’t know it closed at 11 (note the time in the photo):
St Vitus’ Cathedral… wish I hadn’t cut off the top of the spire on the right:
St Vitus’ Cathedral, from the front:
Great to see a few photos of Prague. As cities go it has a lot to offer. It wasn?t bombed during the war and, as a result, it has a lot of beautiful old buildings still there in all their glory. It is a treat for photographers.
The brewery clock in the first one is charming. I?m wondering about a clutter v context as I look at it. Are the things around it clutter and cropping some of them out would help? Or are they providing context beside the clock ? and maybe ever a little more of the light in the bottom right and beyond would enhance the photo? I don?t know. Possibly there are improvements, but I like it as it is.
Maybe my laptop monitor needs adjusted, but the last two photos look slightly overexposed to me ? possibly shot in bright afternoon sunshine. I like the first cathedral shot best. The framing across the diagonals (more or less), comes across fairly well and adds fresh impact. The second one is good rather than outstanding. I think that with architectural shots like this you can either shoot them dead flat, in good light, and try to catch the symmetry or you can try to find a fresh angle on them. This photo falls somewhere between these two options. It isn?t quite straight on, emphasising what symmetry the building has. And it isn?t at an acute angle ? unlike the image above it.
Again ? just my two cents. Although I offer suggestions for the images, overall I rather like them. Thanks for posting them. I appreciate all the travel photos contributed to this section ? it is my favourite section on the forum. I also find that trying to critique the images teaches me things that a casual glance at the images would not have generated.
