Euro 2012: Final Today! Photo

Photographer's Note

'Can Italy stop Spain's bid for history?' I found this question today on cnn.com. Spain won Euro 2008 and the 2010 World Cup, and now they have a chance to win the 3rd major international football tournaments in a row. Good luck Spain! Good luck Italy!:)

So sad that the European Championship final is organized in the Ukrainian capital Kiev not in Warsaw... Here you can find a shot of the National Stadium and the Poniatowski Bridge captured during a blue hour.

Buongiorno Malgo
bellissima vista del ponte con annesso stadio, i riflessi sono splendidi ed il blu dell'acqua e del cielo sono ben evidenti.
Una ora blu meravigliosa.
Buona giornata

Bon dimanche

Czesc Gosia,
Sorry, ze nie bylam aktywna, ale bylismy odwiedzic corke ktora z rodzina mieszka w Austin,Tx.
Bardzo lubie zdjecia nocne i Ty wykonalas je przepieknie wspaniala kolorystyka, ostrosc,punkt widzenia, pieknie odbijaja sie swiatla w wodzie. Sliczne zdjecie. Bardzo mi sie podoba.
Serdecznie pozdrawiam,
Barbara

Czesc Malgorzata,
moja ulubiona pora do zdjec. Wspanialy pomysl zeby pokazac ten nowy stadion szczegolnie w tym czasie pokazany o tej wlasnie porze i to w kontekscie rzeki ktora przydaje odblaskow i kolorow.
Pierwszy plan troche skromny dlatego ja na Twoim miejscu skupilbym sie bardziej na samym stadionie przycinajac nieco mostu.
Nie mniej fotografia robi ogromne wrazenie i jak sadze jeszcze tutaj i moze nawet nigdzie indziej takiej nie ma.
Pozdrowienia
M

vladic (4563) 2012-07-02 0:57

bonjour
une photo superbe et bien choisie pour la fin de ces jeux avec le stade et ce pont à l'heure bleue, et les reflets qui ressemblent à des fontaines inversées qui retombent dans l'eau, un peu comme un feu d'arficie
un très bon choix

Lot of 'know how' was necessary to depict so beautifully the crowned stadium that throws up and downwards sparkles as an anniversary cake could do!

Witaj dear Malgorzata

We do not often see Blue Hour photos from you, and judging from this, I hope to see many more. The blue tones, the sharpness and the exposure are spot-on. I like the panoramic landscape shot, it really is lovely and such a great reportage photo.

Warm regards
Lisa
