Behind bars

The Royal Imperial Palace of Schönbrunn, Vienna, as seen from behind the Neptune Fountain, which was built at the command of Empress Maria Theresia. Excavation began in 1776 and the fountain was completed in 1780.

 

Captured with what is currently my favourite lens - the very quirky XR Rikenon 1:2.2 55mm. In certain situations it behaves as a soft-focus lens (see my other images). But have a look at those bars - as sharp as one could want...
