I agree this place should be open!
Wow it really is beautiful! Sorry about the notes! But I really think you show this Church in on a gloomy day

Thanks

Nice work Vandana. The cathedral was well captured. The inclusion of the grasses works well too. One minor thing though. There seem to be too much empty space on the upper left. Maybe burning a bit the background can bring out the clouds and add more gloominess to the photo. TFS.

Hello Vandana,
This is a nice photo of this church I like the composition with the diagonal in it. My only nit pick is I think you have increase a little bit too much the saturation or the light in your PP work since the sky and the Golden top of towers are a little bit burned. Otherwise this is very nice with the grass and this superb architecture.
Greetings.

It is a very beautiful image, Vandana! The composition is superb. I particularly like the inclusion of the shrubs in the foreground. And coupled with the note on the status of the Church, this image becomes very powerful. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Vandana
Lovely to see the Cathedral of the Transfiguration in your gallery too.
I ws hoping that it would be open again for Christmas, but it seems that the foolish fighting continues. One can still get close to the church, but not quite legally. It is a very sad story indeed.
Thanks for sharing it again

Hello Vandana, this building is really something, and you photographed it so well!

Good off-centered composition, and low pov with the grass on the bottom framing it.

Very nice colours and great sharpness.

Take care and Happy New Year again :)

Very nice composition, Vandana! Your low POV really emphasizes the majesty of this church, and the dreary colours tell a story. You should fix the blue area in the upper right corner. Thanks for sharing; I learned something today!

Hi Vandana,

This is a classic composition, very well done! The colors and details are very good. Inclusion of the grasses on the foreground adds a nice layer. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Vandana - what a sad story. $$$ always cause problems.
And what a beautiful building and I was so sure this was taken in Russia. Your POV and composition are excellent. Very well captured, thank you,

Hello Vandana

This is a nice shot. It looks like if the Church was in the middle of nowere. The angle of vue is nice showing all that vegetation in the front making the lamposts look like flowers.

Beautiful visual, that seems a dream, this construction is fantastic. As always I say me every day I learn and I know a little of our wonderful world.
Congratulations for the picture and his trip.

Wooo Vandana

Excellent shot, nice composition, sharpness and colouration! Very good details. Well captured. It is very sad to hear about the custody fight, I suppose is all about the money not the morals these people are after. Thanks for sharing

Cheers,
Sweety

Hi Vandana,
What a wonderful architecture and your POV is perfect for showing it! Against the white sky the colors and details have still more precision. I like contrast with the delicate faded flowers in foreground and the splendour of this church. I agree with you, it's a pity that it is abandoned. Bravo and thank you for sharing! Annie

Well captured - your zoom served you well. It's sharp and well metered, composition is good.
I think the gloom of the day and the overgrown grass at the base of the church underline the context of your note well.
Thank you for sharing your journeys with us!

Hi Vandana,

A very touching note- and I must agree with you whole-heartedly, custody? over a place of worship? total ridicule! I've always been fascinated by religion, whether it's the discussion, the research, the devotion- the whole precarious form of religion is utterly astonishing. In this image you caught many faces to religion and the work that goes into being 'faithful'. I wont dwell on that because I could go on to write a book then! :P

This image has amazing qaulity within it, if you hadn't mentioned bad weather I wouldn't have even guessed it. The white light (which could seem over-exposed) is fantastic, because it idolizes every curve of that building, every perfect line and those fantastic/rich colours. But the colours do seem a little cold, but I think that's another aspect in the shot that 'makes' it what it is. Finally, the forefront of the image, the little field- wow, amazing- the mood it conveys, inexplicable.

Fantastic image, and a perfect note. I applaud you!

Biance.

Your composition and crop are perfect. You left just enough ground. The white sky works very well in this mystic image.

Hi Vandana. The gloomy day and teh lack of colour in the sky has added even more sadness I feel, Well composed and lovely deeper colours with very good detail on the Church itself. TFS,
