Waiting for the clock to strike, a photo from Prague, Bohemia

Photographer's Note

There is a medieval clock in Prague's Old Town Square that puts on a little "show of figures" at noon every day. A large crowd gathers every day in front of the clock tower to wait for the display. I took this picture from the top of the tower looking down at the crowd.

I was looking at this show several times from the ground level and always enjoyed it. the crowd isn't here at its best yet. nice shot and POV Eva. from the shadows lenght I can guess its rather late afternoon. you could have achieved more saturated colors

I was in Prague this summer and was amazed at how crowded it was. This shot does a great job of conveying that feeling. I agree, though, that it could use some brightening and some contrast. In addition, it seems to have a bluish cast to it.

The point of view is very interesting and unusual. Good thing I'm not too afraid of height ! There seem to be a like a "veil" on the picture, I tried to remove it in PS and found brighter colors, but I can't post the result !
Later : since you enabled the WS posting, here it is. Tell me what you think.
