Michele, this image gives the impression that Berlin is a cold and uninviting city. I can see why this is a classic postcard view, with the bridge and beautifully balanced buildings creating a pleasing composition. I really like the smooth, long-exposure effect on the river, although the out-of-focus boat just beyond the bridge would be better removed. The magnificent Berlin Cathedral adds tremendous visual impact and interest, with everything rendered beautifully sharp.   Posted: 10/09/2026 22:38:44
