Those construction are very unique - I like the retro touch on it. Your pictures are good captured. Keep on going and making good photos.

Thank you! This is really a unique bridge, with its iron construction and the typical green color. It's my absolute favourite among Budapest bridges.

What a luck to be in the beautiful Budapest! You have tens of models to shoot...the bridge with lions? Where the architect or builder made a mistake and suicide when a child (As I know, don't know is just like that, I hear this story 40 years ago) noticed that the lions don't have tongue!!!

The bridge with lions is the Lánchíd ("Chain bridge"). The story is not true, just only an urban legend :))) The sculptor who made the lions, did not commit suicide, died at a very old age.

Thanks for these clarifications. I'm glad for the sculptor that he died very old, what we want also!

Thank you! They would be better if they were taken with my Olympus. :)

Yes, I bet! I think you can take more influence into the screen layout. And your enables you to correct plunging lines and to re-establish correct proportions, I guess.
