The Chapel Bridge of Luzern, Switzerland, constructed in first half of the 14th century as a part of the city's fortifications and named after St. Peter's Chapel, which is located nearby. The Water Tower which is an octagonal tower - over 34 meters high (111.5 ft.) - was built around 1300 as part of the city wall and used as an archive, treasury, prison and torture chamber.

Hi Francis,
Very nice piece of composition and POV here, the balance in the frame is perfect, the diagonal cut made by the bridge accentuates the tower nicely.
I love the detail you've got in the frame, the two swans in foreground and all those seagulls perched in a line on top of the bridge.
Flat light but you've made the most of it, getting detail into the sky is never easy in these conditions.
All up a very impressive capture, congratulations.
Warm wishes
Peter

Hi Francis Xavier,
this is a beautiful frame, having a great perspective, rich in colours, nice details and an impressive cloudy sky covering the peak of the mountain in the depth. The flowers on the bridge decorate it and the swans make the scene fairy! The row of birds on the bridge is one more interesting element for this composition. I think that the vertical capture was the most appropriate.

Best regards,
Athanasios.
