Default My recent trip to Germany

While on bussiness in Germany, I recently took this picture of the outside walls of Rothenburg. The city itself was built in the 11th century and much if not all the buildings and the wall remain to this day.

Beautiful.

The greenery at the lower left is a bit of a blob but there is enough clarity in it that it's not distracting.

I wish we had this kind of history and architecture here.

Nice architecture, actually it would have been better to see more of it. The trees in the left side and the one in the front with the red leafs are kind of distracting and they steal a lot of space in the picture. Maybe rotating the camera to vertical would have turned out to be better.

i'd like to see maybe a little bit more color saturation, and a little bluer sky. otherwise i think it's quite a nice photograph. rothenburg is a beautiful place - i'd go back in a second!

Germany is very cool. i was born there and have been back a couple times and i absolutely loved it. the towns have such character, which you have brilliantly captured here.

Ooooh I love Germany - so much material there for photographers. I think you captured the sights beautifully. Well done.
