Hi Aires,
wow, this is truly spectacular. I really admire the exposition. This light conditions (black sky) are difficult and it is easy to burn some elements. You did a great job: all the illuminated elements have as much light as they need.
What I like in this composition is that there are here three different groups of elements so that the shot looks like a collage. Very good POV.
Perfect job!

Hello,

Fantastique image nocturne, ces reflet sont merveilleux, quelle maîtrise des lumières, quel effet de couleur, un cadrage parfait, avec l'église en fond, la coupole, un rêve magique.

Bravo et amitié

Hello Aires,
Even at night Prague looks wonderful.
You've chosen a less known POV for this beautiful view on the town, the river and the cathedral on the hill.
I like the towers and the domes reaching for the dark sky and the different lights and colours and their reflections in the water.
Best regards, Paul

The colours of the night and the colours of the lights have all been so deftly and so finely nuanced and handled Aires that it leaves me with no more words to describe what I feel
