At the end of the street called Pikk jalg, you can see one of the gates of the medieval city of Tallin, the so called Long Leg Gate Tower. It is dated back to XIV. century and was one of the two gates, which linked the nobles' upper town to the commoners. The other was the Short Leg Gate and both were closed every night.
In the background you can see a detail of XIII. century's St.Olav’s Church, the tallest church in Medieval Europe. Now its height is 123,7m. It was named after the Norwegian king Olav II Haraldsson, canonised as a saint and was considered to be the protector of seafarers.

Szia Attila,
Gyönyörű kép. Visszaadja a várost átitató csodálatos középkori atmoszférát. Fantasztikus nyaralásban volt itt részem 2005-ben, így ismét sikerült táptüzet adnod régi emlékeimnek. Emlékszem, hogy mennyit rohangáltam ennél a fotónál: benne legyen a Szent Olaf templom tornya a képben, meg a várba vezető út is. Végül két változatot készítettem, az egyik igencsak hasonlít a Tiédre. Tallinn fantasztikus hely, évtizedekig a szovjet filmipar kedvelt terepe volt a történelmi filmek természetes díszleteként. Ismét csak gratulálni tudok, és szép tájakat Kívánok!
Gyuri
UI: Köszönöm a programot, amit ajánlottál, hasznát fogom venni.

Atus,
this image is attractive because of the compression of the field, the architecture and the POV. It is colourful with nice details. I can see that this lens works very well. Thank you very much. Regards,

Zdravo Attila. Very effective PoV taking us deep and down into the scene. Great use of light as it disects the composition into siagonal slices of light that march the lines of the roofs. Reminds me a bit of the Dubrovnik streets and how fit the locals must be going up hill.Regards. Klaudio.

Attila,
I like a lot your compo in this one.
There is nice depth, with beautiful perspective on the road, and still some sky and colors.
Very nice.
My only regret is the walls texture, seeming a little "washed", like if you used too much anti-noise (I don't assume that's what you did on this one).
Regards,
JB.

Great shot of this spectacular perspective, Attila. I feel a strong energy pushing me down the road, like in a roller coaster. All these people feel it too and that's why no one is climbing - this is just one way! Very good use of the zoom for this tight framing. Beautiful light and fascinating architecture. Congratulations!
Best regards,

Hi Attila,
A great perspective in your setting, thanks to the street with this strong slope, which takes the look to us towards the medieval gate, and with a great game of the light with the shades.
The architecture is fantastic, and I like the alignment of the lampposts specially.
A great work.
Best regards, my friend,
Josep

Hello Attila, light delicious and quality of image give one returned excel, superb architecture with l`église all it high with bottom, paving stones supplement part low of photograph or finds door and passage open towards Middle Ages, this kind of city low for people, and high for noble, makes me to think of certain country which made the size of Europe, like Hungary, or certain cities like Prague, which have a certain similarity for the separation of the rich person and the poor, sincerely.......................Hello Attila, La lumičre délicieuse et la qualité de l'image donnent un rendu excellent,
superbe architecture avec l‘église tout la haut au fond, les pavés complčtent la partie basse de la photo ou se trouve la porte et le passage ouvert vers le moyen-Age, ce genre de ville basse pour le people, et la haute pour les nobles, me fait penser ŕ certain pays qui ont fait la grandeur de l’Europe, comme la Hongrie, ou certaines villes comme Prague, qui ont une certaine similitude pour la séparation des riches et des pauvres, bien amicalement

Hi Attila,
The sunlight is great at the top of buildings. Good Dynamic range in the image. The sloping down road to the gate is good and your idea to take it from ground level is excellent.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Attila,
I like the curved road leading us down into the gateway of the building, and wondering what the medieval city which lies behind it looks like. The vertical format works well to emphasise the height of the buildings and the tower behind. People give a good sense of scale and I like the details on the lovely buildings.

Hi Attile,
An impressive pov, wonderful colours, remarkable sharpness and impeccable exposure adjustment. The walking people give life to it and it's amazing how you managed to give depth to a photo shot with a long focal. I would prefer that the couple on the fg would be in focus, but I guess that I am asking something near impossible.
Regards, José.

Very strong tonality you have use to bring this image forward. It give me the impression of the old Kodakchrome film from the 70s. Specially like how your eyes have capture the curve created by the motion and fluidity of the people.
Excellent capture!
