Description
Kamenita Vrata, ZagrebI know it's not perfect. I tried to make another HDR but it's so hard when I have compact camera

As stories go, the story behind the Kamenita Vrata stone gate, located in Zagreb, Croatia is quite intriguing. This stone archway was one of four main gates leading into the walled Upper Town (Gornji Grad) during feudal times. In the year 1731 a major fire wiped out most of the town except for a sole picture of the Virgin Mary. It evidently remained untouched with only a slightly burnt frame. In 1760 when the town was rebuilt, the archway became a holy location for people who wanted to say prayers and light a candle or two in the presence of the Virgin.
To get to the Kamenita Vrata, you do have a bit of a climb to get there. But once there you will enjoy the atmosphere of the location while you admire the painting of the Virgin and Child in an alcove behind a baroque grid. Many take it as a miraculous sign that the painting/picture survived the great fire. You will find a few pews in the small chapel.

Wonderful architectural photo and composition; the history supplied is of great interest and I'm glad you included it; it completes the picture very well. Very nice work!

Thank you so much for your comment
I'm not satisfied with it anymore, I should make a new one with my dslr. It was one of my first HDRs
I like to include history in such photos. Zagreb is an old town with long and interesting history which I like to share with others who never heard for it.
My big apologize for such long delay. I always have lot of messages and have bad habit to start answering to last posted messages. That's why old ones always wait

Mislim da bi i one stube prema Gornjem gradu(od RadiΔeve) bile zgodan motiv..one svjetiljke i to

Hm, na koje misliΕ‘, da li na one na samom poΔetku RadiΔeve koje izlaze gore kod uspinjaΔe ili onih par koje dolaze na Kamenita?
Ma ima toga dosta za poslikati, samo dok doΔem doma s posla veΔ je kmica a subotom i nedjeljom ludnica

Hvala Ε‘to si me podsjetila na njih, rijetko kada idem onuda pa sam potpuno zaboravila. Zapravo, prelijena sam pa radije koristim uspinjaΔu
U svakom sluΔaju, imat Δu ih u vidu, moΕΎda neΕ‘to uspije

even if you don't totally like it, i do 
the only problem in this is the angle...the building angle is good, but if the camera was held a bit more downwards it would have been perfect! the horizon line seems unstable like this, giving me an unease when it should make me relax
