Very nice work. I particularly like #3 & #5....both postcard shots. #4 looks like it's falling off to the right a little and #6 a little to the left. But then, maybe I need to clean my glasses ;)

Nice pictures, it looks like you had some dust specs on your sensor in the first shot though.

Number 2 and number 4 for me. Great work! I like the first one, but the tilt on the towers to the right is a little distracting.

#5 and #6 are my favorites! In #5 I would clone or crop out the rail. In #6 the photo is tilted about 1 degree to the left. It can be easily rotated in PhotoShop.

Thank you! It's possible that it's not perfectly straight. I shot most of those using a gorillapod. Not the easiest thing to accurately level and compose :o

Thank you. Yes, Lucern is a beautiful city. Yesterday was difficult to take good shots though as we are in the middle of Fasnacht (carnival). It was just "a bit" crowded...

I should clone out the dust. I didn't have time to do any PPing though. They are all directly from the camera.

Thank you. I'll take care of the tilts when I'll find time for PPing...

The rail is also something I intend to clone/crop out of the picture...

Thank you all!

I like # 5, it seems so serine to me with the mountain as the back drop. I also like #6, the lovelyness of the reflections is quite dynamic as with the trailing of the lights.

Very nice pics. I was lucky enough to have visited there in the summer of 1994. We stayed at the hotel on top of Mt. Pilatus. The bridge had just been rebuilt because it had burnt down some time before. Congrats on your shots...

I couldnt agree more. I wont touch the whole verticalness of the architecture, but in number 5 it looks the straightest. 5 is definitely my favorite of this series.
