[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
This is die Berliner Siegessäule (Berlin Victory Column). One of the more famous sights in Berlin. You can find it in the middle of the park Tiergarten at the Großer Stern (Great Asterisk).

The column was inaugurated in 1873 to commemorate the victory of Prussia in the Danish-Prussian War in 1864. But when the column was finished, Prussia had also won the wars against Austria (1866) and France (1872).
The column was designed by Heinrich Strack and is 67 meter high. On the top there's a 8,3 meter high, bronze sculpture of the victory-goddess, Victoria (People from Berlin call her Goldelse, Golden Lizzy). The base is decorated with bas-reliefs of battles.

I cropped the picture a bit, but there was no need for other PP-work.

Hope you like it!

Hi Lars, I like your creative way to put the lamps as decoration to the status. Without the decorations, the status would be a lonely single column there.
A great contrast to the blue sky. A really remarkable photo.

Excellent framing!! Very clever. The contrast between the gold statue and the blue sky is terrific!! Great idea Lars

Regards John

It looks like the victory goddess is lighted by the lamp.
The Danes stroke back I hope.

Very good compo with the lantern and the victory column in one angle.Nice colors and contrasts also a beautiful light in the image!
Well done Lars!

I like the cropping you did and concur there is no need whatsoever for any post-processing. I like the impact we have here with the architecture and blue sky. The sharpness seems good to me too. This is one of your best ones yet from Berlin, congrats!

Hi,
An unusual way of creating interest. Good problem solving and I like the composition. The focal point is well placed with the right amount of contrast. Great capture!

Lars,
Just nu lyssnar jag inte på någon musik alls, men jag skriver ändå!
Fina objekt och en bra komposition. Den gyllene statyn gör sig mycket bra i sammanhanget.
Magnus

Bonjour Lars,
J'aime beaucoup cette composition. Mélanger ces lanternes à la statue ailée de la victoire est une excellente idée.
Les couleurs sont belles et le cadrage serré permet de voir de nombreux détails. Belle composition se détachant avec merveille sur un ciel bleu pur.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Its amazing as a composition, and I find it like this because of the position of the statue in the third between the lamps.
Nicely done and beautiful image.
I like it

Hi Lars!
and again (I don't know what I should say more than in my other critiques ;-)) a clear and sharp shot - well composed! Thanks again for your note!
Congrats,
Thorsten

great work, I like the middle angle here, very good lights. I didnt think street lamps could look so beautiful, but well done

Goedeavond Lars,
U heeft wel degelijk de gepaste hoek gekozen, zo is de volledige achterste standbeeld te zien geflankeerd door de twee lantaarns, ik hou wel van de gouden kleuren van het beeld!
mooie detail foto Lars.
Groeten,
John.

Goed gezien, hoewel Lars, ik had net een klein stapje naar rechts gedaan om het standbeeld van het middenstuk af te halen.
Het idee is zeker goed, mooi detail-werk hier en goed tegen de blauwe hemel !

Good shot.I lik ethe composition and prespectyive.Very good colors and contrasts.I like the textures,light and sharpness.I like the contrast between the sky and the statue.Well done!

H Lars - very nice positioning, and an informative note.

Hi Lars, nice photo, I like the perspective and the composition, the two street lamps work very nice as a framing. the colours are nice too. Well done!

Beautiful composition, Lars; excellent perspective and POV, good colours and sharpness, I also like the clouds, well done!

Prachtige kleuren. Zo te zien was niet alles grijs en wit in Berlijn. Heel mooie compositie, jammer dat die engel ietsje onduidelijk is overgekomen, maar dat komt vast door het formaat!

Une composition artistique très bien agencée avec l'ange doré qui contraste parfaitement par rapport à l'arrière-plan.

An artistic composition arranged very well with the golden angel which contrasts perfectly compared to the background.

Wat een sierlijke lantaarns! Leuk dat je de toren er precies doorheen ziet. Het lijkt wel een klein gouden vrijheidsbeeld. Heel mooi dat goud. Mooie compositie. Goed weekend!

Viktoria nicely framed by lanterns, Lars. Well selected and composed.

Tu as bien su mettre sur la même vue ces trois éléments ce qui fait une photo originale pour cette statue de la victoire. Il y a un peu de symétrie mais pas trop et du ciel bleu qui fait un fond agréable à la composition.

Olá Lars, it surprises me that I haven't seen this one before, because I like the composition a lot - it's like a trident :)It's simple but it really works for the goddess upthere. I actually think that more sky around wouldn't hurt. There's artifacts around the silhoettes but it's not too bad.
Have a nice weekend,
ricardo
