Photographer's Note
Frauenkirche
One of the most iconic buildings in Munich is probably the Frauenkirche (officially: Dom zu Unserer Lieben Frau, Cathedral of Our Dear Lady). Its two towers are 99 metres tall and as it is prohibited to build higher than 99 metres in Munich city centre, the twin towers can be seen from many parts of the city. The Gothic church was built in the 12th century, it was severely damaged in WWII and renovation works were completed in 1994. The photo was taken from the square called Marienplatz and the sculpture in the foreground sits atop the Mariens舫le (Mary痴 Column), Mary is the protector of Bavaria.

Hej Lars,
Du letade noga fr att hitta den perfekta platsen fr att placera pelaren med den gyllene skulpturen exakt mellan de b蘚a tornen. Det blev en v舁digt snygg komposition, men du hade god hj舁p av det fina v臈ret och det fantastiska ljuset.
H舁sningar,

Hi Lars,
The statue is eye-catching. The point of view is showing the details of the towers of the Our Dea Lady cathedral. The quality of the light beautifies the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Lars,
Het standbeeld boven op de Mariens舫le is mooi geplaatst tussen beide torens van de Frauenkirche. Deze torens lijken me wat oosters genspireerd.
Het zonlicht schittert op het gouden beeld en de blauwe lucht verraadt een heel mooi weer.
Uistekend scherpe foto tot in de kleine details.
Vele groeten, Paul

Good to see the scaffolding on one of the twin towers has gone. You also had perfect weather. Excellent sharpness and the gilded statue adds depth and layering. Tfs!

The towers are fantastic and the statue of Mary is brilliant, all against a pleasantly cloudless sky.

Hello Lars,
I was really impressed by the clarity of your photograph; you must have a very steady hand as well as well judged settings. The details of the two towers, with their decorative features, clocks and domes, are remarkable.
You have chosen a fine viewpoint so that the golden Madonna, aloft the pillar, sits neatly between the two towers without causing any obstructions.
Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Goedemiddag Lars,
Deze foto werd met veel aandacht genomen.
Het standbeeld perfect tussen de torens.
Op deze wijze mist men niets van de mooi "Frauenkirche" torens.
Perfect scherp en helder om naar te kijken
Ook de uien van de dak zorgen voor een mooi beeld
Goed foto werk, bedankt.
Groeten uit Vlaanderen,
John

Hi Lars,the golden statue reminds me a lot the similar on the top of Duomo of Milano,and this is very bright too. Perfect capture of bell towers too, back in their original style after the WWII,a very bright capture in the best light another time. Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

I am sure I have one like your as well.
I admire a stunning quality here. So crispy sharp. Amazing weather, light and colors. The blue sky makes a huge differentce especially for the golden statue.
Excellent quality work,

Hello Lars,
This is a fabulous view of the clock towers and the golden sculpture. I like how you captured the gold statue in between the two domes of the cathedral, with a beautiful, blue sky in the background. Very nice! :-)

Dag Lars,
Dat zijn een paar kloeke torens en alles ziet er zo nieuw uit in hartje Munchen, zelf de oude torens.
Mooi compositie,

Hello Lars,
First of all, the details of this photo is extraordinary 'clear & sharp'.
Yes, I do remember these iconic twin towers but I can't remember seeing it so close ... thanks to this shot :-)
I wonder is Mary , sculptured with pure gold. Good job its sits atop the column like a true protector :-)
I do like the Mary's crown between the twin towers' crowns against the sky ... long live the Bavaria !!!

What an attractive view of the bell towers, magnificently captured for a professional centering!
The golden statue acts as a glamorous eye catcher that should very soon consult a specialist for perceptive deafness; it's exposed to the bell ringing which can reach up to 100 db :)
Thanks to your new lens for such a neat work and to you for the magnificent capture.
Vele groeten

Hi Lars,
You really chose the perfect PoV for this shot. Golden statue looks great on top of the column. And double towers of the Frauenkirche certainly deserve to be a symbol of Munich.

Hi Lars.
Sensational POV that you have captured with the two beautiful towers of the Church of Our Lady, the perfectly placed statue and everything with a close-up that allows us to admire all the details very well.
Sharpness, lighting, color, and magnificent composition; they are managed to perfection, in this beautiful image.
Good job. I like very much.
You have a good day. Very best regards.
Luis.

Hello Lars, very interesting to learn about the restriction on the height of buildings in Munich.
An excellent close view, both two towers show two faces.
The sculpture is perfectly placed, and with the gold leaf shines in the sunshine.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hi Lars,
A remarkably sharp photo with excellent light control and colour. Clever placement of the golden statue between the two church towers. It's good that no buildings can overshadow this iconic building.

Hello Lars
You have a certain degree in showing these towers from the close view. I like to put a statue in the middle of two tall towers. Good resolution and exposure. Thanks for sharing
