What guided this image
- Landmarks
- Gediminas' Tower; Three Crosses; Vilnius Cathedral; St. Anne's Church; Vilnia River; Church of St. Johns; Neris River; Brick Gothic
- Viewpoint
- Favor the classic elevated viewpoint from Subačius viewpoint or from the Three Crosses Hill looking west across the Old Town toward Gediminas' Hill, showing the red roofs and baroque towers in the middle-ground, and the Neris River valley in the background.
- Palette
- Green should be the predominant color, especially in the steep, densely forested slopes of Castle Hill, Kalnų Park (Three Crosses), and riverbank willows.
- Guarded against
- Avoid confusing Vilnius with Riga (no wide maritime estuary; Vilnius is an inland river city of forested hills and Baroque churches) or Tallinn.
