The Alley, a photo from Mures, West

Photographer's Note

Another shot from Romania. This time a lovely and mysterious alley in Sighişoara.

About Sighisoara
Founded by Transylvanian Saxons during the 12th century, Sighisoara still stands as one of the most beautiful and best-preserved medieval towns in Europe. It was designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Sighisoara is a perfectly intact 16th century gem with nine towers, cobbled streets, burgher houses and ornate churches. It is also the birthplace of Vlad Dracula, also known as Vlad Tepes (Vlad the Impaler), ruler of the province of Walachia from 1456 to 1462. It was he who inspired Bram Stoker's fictional creation, Count Dracula. (from www.romaniatourism.com)

Hi Zuzanna,
Good POV and sharpness. I like the framing as well. This image makes me feel as though I am there and walking up this path. The architecture is also unique, and I love how you incorporated both archways...it gives the image a nice symmetry. Thanks for sharing!

Texture of the walls, old narrow path with stones on ground... Definitely a photographic place... But why not to wait someone to pass? may be someone with bright clothes; red orange or purple...
Regards,
Burcu

Hello Zuza,

You captured a fantastic alley full with photographic opportunities. Arch through arch, cobblestoned ground, amazing textures on facades and enviable light makes your frame an attractive one. Excellent clarity and sharpness in natural colors. Congratulations.

Best Regards,

Nice shot. But I feel some of the bright regions distract the eye form this beautiful picture. I have posted a photoshop, hope you like it.

Well centered picture with a great colour-shadow balance. I like the perspective, and the photo fits well with what I imagine when I think of Romainia. Great job!
