City
Budapest
Capital of Hungary
What guided this image
- Landmarks
- Buda Castle; Matthias Church; Hungarian Parliament Building; Széchenyi Chain Bridge; St. Stephen's Basilica; Gellért Hill; Margaret Island; Pest
- Viewpoint
- Favor a slightly elevated viewpoint from Gellért Hill, looking north along the Danube, with Castle Hill on the left, Pest on the right, bridges crossing the river, and the Parliament further upstream.
- Palette
- Green should be the predominant color, especially on Gellért Hill, the trees of Castle Hill, Margaret Island, the Buda Hills, and in the overall visual impression.
- Guarded against
- Avoid making Budapest look like Vienna, Prague, Belgrade, or London, and avoid Mediterranean or Alpine character.
