Thank you both for your reactions.
Actually, I was in Prague in december 2009, two months ago. I stayed there 6 days. During that time I took all the photographs you can see in the book.
Here are some additional information about the photographs, so you can judge for yourself: all of them I took in raw format and post-processed in Lightroom. However, there are no hdr photographs, not a single one.
Further, I never had intention to give picture of Prague as a whole. I was interested only in the old parts of the city. And the photographs show how I saw it.
I could agree that "the sellout to capitalist money grabbing" is going on there, it's clearly visible because it happens at the present time. Only, knowing that the whole of the western world have gone that way a long time ago, I tend not to judge the Czech that hard. Even more: after France and Britain sold them to Hitler, nazi Germany commited terrible crimes in 1939-1945 only to be invaded by Russian-led soviet forces in 1968; the Czech mannaged peaceful transition and the separation with the Slovaks. For this I have only deep respect. But this is the topic for an other kind of forum I guess.
Regards to all of you.

Perfect job. How long did you work on this book? Few years maybe?
Once again, amazing!

these ravishingly beautiful and heavily doctored highly prefessional photographs of prague give a totally distorted view of this ancient, wounded, partially destroyed and much over visited city . i have seen it three times; the last time the total sellout to capitalist money grabbing ws dire - all i could think of was doctor faustus
