Excellent cropping and framing on all three of these shots Doug. My wife spent a month in Budapest working in a hospital. She still gets a faraway look when she thinks about her time there.
ReplyDeleteVery nice pictures of the capital of my country!
ReplyDeleteI live 150 miles from Budapest, but once a year I travel there for taking photos. So I know these places, and your photos are really excellent! I would like to see them even on postcards.
(but who is Eszter? :))
I'm awestruck by the dome of the cathedral!
ReplyDeleteNice photo's! I have been in the cathedrall too, long ago with a ticket of Interrail. I recall it was very impressive!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors and a very impressive dome
ReplyDeleteAll well done Doug!
Budapest is on my Bucket List, Doug. You've really whetted my appetite with this post! The colors are beautiful and the basilica shot is to die for.
ReplyDeleteOld Buda is a generous place for a photographer and your photos prove this statement.
ReplyDeleteVery nice these pictures, good compositions and lovely colors.
ReplyDeletegreetings, Joop

I love how you captured the corners of these beautiful architectures, the first one is fantastic

ReplyDeleteNice photos of a beautiful city ! I was in Budapest last summer. It was really hot...+38 Puh!
ReplyDeletenice, colorful photos. I particularly like the framing on the first image.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Doug! How thoughtful you are! In Budapest I lived just a couple of blocks away from the Basilica! 5 min. walk away, to be exact. Have you also been on the top? The view from up there is unbelievable! Awesome pictures! You are an excellent photographer!

ReplyDeleteI like how you frame it, I never know how to compose a pic when I'm inside a building or taking architecture shots.
Amazing photographs Doug!
ReplyDeleteLove colorful textures and doom details, very nice.
ReplyDeleteThese beautiful pictures remind me of my trip to Budapest in the winter... my trip there showed me a less colorful version of the city, so it's nice to see your version :)
