[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a small church in Varna downtown.
The name is St. Petka and is one of my favourite ones in Varna.
It is situated among the houses and people often use to come here to take a rest at the benches set around, to bring their children to the play-ground or just to have a chat with a friend or a neighbour. The space around it is maintained by the children from a near-by school and it looks a nice oasis in the center of the big city.

PP: I applied an illuminating filter this time, to create the illusion as if the church is lighted up from all four angles.
Experimenting..:-)

A very fine and interesting pix Maria - not so sure of all the spotlights - maybe better to let Philips take care of that...

..to not say that a greater master maybe have to take care of the two upper spots ;-))

Hi Maria. Nice shot here. The two lights give the photo an ethereal feel. Nicely done, good work.

I really like what you did here, Maria.
The lighting effect is creative, and it seems to have achieved the look you wanted. Good composition with placing only one person in the view. Very nice.

Great church, and well captured by you, Maria. The one person walking at the bottom left adds a lot to the composition. The illuminating effect is interesting and well chosen for this topic (Jack found a nice way to word it ;-). Nice work.
