Another successful Russian picture David, Love what you have done here the silhouettes in the foreground and the misty domes in the far distance. Great composition and great capture. Well done.

No an odd crop at all. I would say it is a very nice crop which enhances the drama and add focus and intrest. Framing can really enhance a composition, just as it has done here.

Hi David, you made an excellent job! I love the contrast between people and the Basil. Very good composition! Congratulation!

This is fantastic. It could tell a story on it's own, as if the spectators are watching it on fire ... which is what I originally thought!
Amazing contrast, and like you said in your note, the chosen crop does maximise the drama.
Well done.

Great ! The ambiance is really there. It makes me remeber this scene is the movie Armagedon, when the crew is walking towards their destiny. See what I mean ?

This is very well done. You've added a different perspective to a very well known monument. Great job!

wow! amazing shot David.. i absolutely agree about St Basils.. one of the most extraordinary buildings in the world and i've always longed to see it.. your picture is brilliant! one of those the thumbnail cant do justice to.. gorgeous composition and framing of the cathedral by the arch and the way everyone seems in silhouette is stunning... and that cloud of steam! certainly does add loads of drama... terrific work! ^_^ - Ayda

Les personnages avancent comme hypnotique vers cette Cathédrale St Basils sortie toute droite d'un conte des mille et une nuit Moscovite... très belle prise ... bravo!

Beautiful composition and colours. Very good contrast between the people and the background. It's a pity that the arch isn't complete. Maybe it's better now to wipe it out. (see WS)

The picture is excellent, the form of as it was framed, the angle
and it is noticed that there is a white shade of the basilica to the bottom,
while the people are in first plan has one
I shine perfect.
I have faith me that it was this his intention.
she was perfect - congratulations

Inspired! (There's a pun there somewhere if I only knew where). The background would stand alone as a finished image but the inclusion of the people adds so much. You're an ace!

A superb backlight shot, and whatever you cropped out, the result is very nice in all its symmetry. The PP work is very interesting and reminds me that USM can indeed be used to many purposes. I wonder how it would have looked had you also saturated the colours a bit more.

A wonderful photograph - it works on so many levels. St Basil's washed out and looming is excellent, the back lit people and the steam with the framing arch - excellent.
