Hello Vikram!

A close perspective with only few people. This is astonishing as the image must have been taken at approx. 6 pm (shadow aligns with the bridge which has almost exact east-west orientation).

I walked the old one which was destroyed in the Balkans war by a direct hit which was intended to smash the cultural identity of the enemies' side. A crime of war.

Welcome at TE, and regards from Germany

Hello Vikram,

This ancient bridge makes a superb focal point, in your photograph. You have composed your photograph well, using the focal bridge to link together the f/g and the b/g of ancient, stone buildings. The figures on the bridge both animate and scale it.
The colours are very natural.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)
