Great shot! This image is so crisp and clean. My first digital camera was the 5D Mark II. That lens is another gem. I sold mine when I moved to medium format. You have a great eye for architecture.

Thank you very much, Ed, for your kind and insightful comment and the words of praise. Greeting Herbert

Another excellent image! Congratulations! You have a way of capturing public spaces in a way that changes perceptions. I flew into Frankfurt this week on business, and walked through the concourse to the train station. I had to find the exact position where you took your excellent picture. The area still looks better in your image than it did whilst crowded with summer tourists. :-)

Cheers! Bob Henderson

Thank you very much, Robert, for your friendly and praising comment on my picture of the day.
I hope you were able to take a good picture in the hall at Frankfurt's long-distance train station (at the airport). If you have a good picture, please share it here at fstopper.
Best regards, Herbert
+ have a nice weekend

Herbert, Congratulations on Photo Of The Day!

Thank you very much, Paul. Have a nice Weekend. Greeting Herbert

Herbert, part of the picture looks real, but part of it looks artist rendered. Is this using software to make it to look 'Artistic'? Or is it filled in with AI? The girl looks real... the mosque in the back looks real, but the top tile, and the river below look artistically rendered. Possibly more than that. There is nothing wrong with that. On photo of the day, It doesn't say what style it is, so maybe I missed that it was supposed to be that way.

Hello Robert,
I was very happy about your friendly and constructive comment.

I would like to tell you the following: I developed this image in Photoshop Bridge as normal and then edited it further in Photoshop CC2019. I also applied filters from the Nik Filter Collection to the image. Among others, Viveza 2, Silver Efex and the Nik Sharpener. I did not apply any rendering to the image. Everything is as photographed. I haven't changed anything about the tiles or the water that is in a basin around the mosque.
I hope I was able to give you a somewhat satisfactory answer to your comment. I wish you a pleasant weekend. Best regards, Herbert

really nice capture!

Thank you very much, Eric.
