[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [Polish]
In 1655 in Kėdainiai hetman Janusz Radziwill terminated union with Poland and surrended the Grand Duchy of Lithuania to Sweden. To this day in town there is Calvinistic church founded by hetman. In conformity with the rules of Calvinism, church's interior is empty and severe. Richly decorated pulpit is the sole decoration. In cellar of church there is crypt of the House of Radziwill.

Hi Robert
Very nice building and great light in your photo
ciao
Lucio

fantastic use of available light.

these churches are in stark contrast to those of the roman catholic church. they tend to be vibrant but ostentatious.

very nicely captured.

Nicely controlled lighting under difficult circumstances (white walls and dark floors)
Interesting how the ancients were able to portray the difference between the heaviness of earthly life and the lightness of the afterlife even in their architecture, emphasized by the light walls and dark floors. Heavy ornamentation is not the only way to praise the divine!
Very fine capture

Good exposure, good rendition of the highlight and shadow. Very nice composition. Perspective and vertical lines are just right. A true architectual shot. Well done.

Hi Robert
The different lines in this composition is a photographer's dream come through. Each one sharp with the contrasting colors of the dark wood which is so beautifully sculptured.
I love how you included some of the benches giving it even more depth.That archway leading to the pulpit is really beautiful, yet it shows us the stairs very clearly. You really composed this beautifully
