[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I had to post one more photo from the Novodevichiy Monastery in Moscow. The sky turned dark and the sun hit the dome in an interesting way. The Monastery is on the UN list of protected historic sites. The Russians have been restoring the Convent and it is beautiful.

Very nice contrast between the sunlit golden roof and the dark sky. This gives the picture a a special mood.

Encore une fois,une belle photo d'architecture! Mais ce qui me plait le plus,ce sont les arbres et leurs branches qui tissent dans le ciel une magnifique dentelle! Superbe ciel bleu-gris qui detonne avec la coupole doree du monastere et ses arches decoupees!

David I am glad you did post one more from the Russian series, this is an amazing image perfectly caught. The composition is brilliant love the muted colours of the monastery against the monochromatic background of the trees. I don't think this picture could be bettered. TFS

tres belle archictecture des batiments RUSSE!
bien mis en valeur par l'arriere plan.
bien vu DAVID!
bye....tanbinh.

Another good catch and a good example of architecture photography. Very interesting light that accentuates the foreground. Great job!

ooh another wonderful onion domed beauty from you David.. so glad we can still see these even now you're back from Russia :-) i just love the dark contrasts in this shot.. so moody and stirring.. beautiful composition with the shadowy trees 'looming in' and as ever excellent sharpness and detail to the shot.. truly splendid!

great job David :)

It's great that you have decided to post it David!! Not only the rooftops of the church are fantastic, but the trees behind it and also the sky are fantastic. A winner combination!!!
Points tomorrow ok?

Very beautiful architecture David. I like the color of the roof. Well done.
