Photographer's Note
View of Salzburg after sunset. The silly title is a failed attempt to recreate the street patterns using keyboard characters. Taken from just beyond a sterile contemporary building at the top of the western edge of old Salzburg, there is a funicular to the top under the mountain. I was surprised to see some of the larger churches, and the fortress (the white thing on top of the hill at right) not illuminated at night.

Ok, I confess: "The sound of music" is among my favourites movies so I realy look forward to visit Salzburg.
After such a great statement, as brave as to get out of the closet in the midle of a family chrismast dinner, I will say that I love the shapes that the streets create together with the lights. It´s a photo with a touch of nostalgy. I love the little... Is it martian? (Sorry for the joke, it´s prevacational syndrome, I will be OK as soon as I get the plane next monday).

The strong lines of the river and brightly lit street leading into the frame give a great sense of depth to the image, and I like how the scene is divided up into segments by the street patterns.
There's a real clarity to the shot that makes it look more like a model than a real city, quite an interesting effect.
I think shifting the framing to the left slightly to cut down on the trees on the right would improve it, but otherwise this is very well taken.
Good work Tan.
Cheers,
Ben

Hi Tan, this is a great evening view. Fabulous colours and detail. I love the deep blue sky - your timing is spot on.

HI Tan
Fascinating view looking over Salzburg, where the lit streets make a bold pattern not necessarily equating with the most worthy sights to be seen. The exposure and contrasts are well managed giving us a clear view of pretty much all the city.

Bonjour Tan,
une photo à l'heure bleue, j'aime voir ces maisons se détacher avec leurs couleurs orangées et jaunes.
Une photo qui a de la profondeur surtout avec ce chateau sur les hauteurs.
Un excellent POV et une expo précise.
Best regards.
Daniel.

Hi Tan,
It's really amazing this shot. The geometrical lines very well alightned, the double reflection, the lights and the beautiful shadows... One need to see two times to capture the complexity and the beauty of this great capture! Great great shot! Thanks.
Best regards,
Angel.

Great night shot! The lights certainly create a pattern that is interesting, and the night shot is a different take on the normal view of the city. One thing that I like is the small amount of light in the sky, which allows us to see the surrounding hills and is much better than a black background. Nicely done!

Great TLC as usual, Tan. I like the way you lead the viewer to the mountains behind following the lines created by the lights and the river. Thanks to the blue hour, the background is not dull. Still, I'd like to see a tad more light in the distance. Anyway, it's a nice shot. Congrats.

Hello, Tan--
Nice work, you composed it well, pulling the streets and buildings into the river and the river and mountains into the castle. The oranges and yellows of the foreground lights look good against the evening blues of the sky, as well.
Thanks!

hello Tan,
A nice view from above at Salzburg, blue hour and almost hearing "eine kleine Nachtmusik"
isn't your title not related to the hill, the river and the road rather than only roads?

Hi Tan
Great effect here, to me the triangle of buildings in the foreground look like a reflection even though they aren't. The smooth water is stunning as are the details of the lit buildings. It's crazy that they don't light up the famous fortress but at least it stands out OK in the blue hour.

Hello,
how wonderfull is Salzburg by night with your look. As you, i can't beleive St Rupert church and the fortress are not lightened!(There were some works at this time on St Rupert church walls that can probabily explain) The light is fantastic and the contrast of colours perfect. i just wonder what is the kind of smoke we can see dawn in the center of the picture.
TFS.

Claude.

Grüss Gott Kapitan,
nice pov as usual, some highlights seem a bit high but the shapes of the city are very nice and despite the lack of light on some buildings we can still see enough of them thanks to blue hour timing
Have a nice sunday JY

Hi Tan,
Although it would have been preferable to have the fortress and other churches lit up, you obtained a superb exposure level here, with the lights muted and appealing as opposed to dazzling. I especially like the inverted V effect leading from the foreground. There is just the right proportion of blue hour sky to enhance nicely. Well captured, Tan.

This one is just *SO* good! Even that title cannot mess it up x-:
The frame is totally filled, colors and sharpness is good, as is the angle. Very interesting picture, looks like it is straight from some kind of.. I don't know. If I shot it, I would blow it up and hang it on my wall. And nobody favorite-ed yet?! TFS, Gilbert

A classic POV from Mozart's city although your uniqueness waiting for this almost past blue hour, Tan. The golden light penetrating out of the urban gorges is really great. You have a perfect light management without a single overezposure in the more bright areas. The detail of the V's in the composition and your title is quite funny. Good eye, but that is probably something more than natural in your profession.

Hi Tan, this is a great evening view! It's a wonderful ideal scene. The geometrical lines very well development, the double reflection, the lights and the beautiful shadows, giving us a clear view of pretty much all the city. The light is fantastic and the contrast of colours perfect, good clarity, details and blue of the sky excellent,,Bravo Georgios.

Hi Tan,
Oh man Tan .. again for the 365th time ... you have found "the" point of few. Great control and use of the range of light. You are right the unlit buildings are surprising .. Beautiful image .. my wife spent a summer in Salzburg (she is a violinist) .. she will love to see this. Thanks for sharing it.
take care,

Hello Tan,
I like those street "on fire". They create nice patterns, nice lines. I agree that those buildings (and your picture) would be more beautiful if lit. The long exposure give that nice texture that I like on the water.
All the best,
