Lightroom: Street Photography

Bratislava Back Street

This is my first picture to be entered into a competition in 2010. It was taken while on a trip to Eastern Europe. We had travelled from Prague to Vienna and then got the Hydrofoil to Bratislava. What a contrast this Capital city was compared to the others. I guess that I had assumed that it was a European capital and therefore would have things to see! I was really wrong. This building was found just wondering slightly off the high street. I think it really captured the qualities of the city.
