My tourist removal strategy: wake up early.

Cool picture....have been to Prague a couple of times, but never seen Charles Bridge so devoid of people! :-)

Good idea for getting the turists out of the picture, but the bad lightning also removed the detail from the background building....

Thanks for your comments. There are details in the background building, but they are just dark.

I like this very much; its moody and has a decent composition. The background scene at the very left with the bridge and water reflections looks amazing, do you have a panorama of that?

Thanks and good point. I have more pictures on the left side, but including it really weaken the composition.

If I cannot see them on my screen it is clear that the exposure was not correct! I am just trying to help you! Do some post processing on the pictures and add some brightness.

Thanks but the correct exposure is the one that reflect the mood. Having lightness everywhere is not my goal.

Do some post processing on the pictures and add some brightness.

I already did some post-process. To darken further the building...

Very nice picture!
Is it a recent shot?
I was there 2008 and took a panorama of Charles Bridge (1.24 gigapixel) at around 6:30 in the morning ;-)
