Hi Jose.

A classical view of the hermitage. In fact, I think I posted a picture really close to yours so...I like it.

Well done!

Hi, Jose,

This is a well conceived and well executed shot.

The receding series of arches creates an excellent sense of depth. I like the balanced perspective, so that we can also see the pillars on the left receding at each stage. The natural daylighting coming in from the left side contributes to a pleasant feel. I also like that the first few paintings above the arches can be seen with good clarity.

While I like the photo, I also feel there are a few minor adjustments that you could make in postprocessing to improve it further, straightening and increasing (a bit) the contrast. I've put up a workshop (again) to illustrate.

Best wishes,
- William

Love it. I am Russian but never been in Hermitage before. You inspire me :)

Wouldn't it be better to increase apperture value a bit to add little more to DoF?

Bonjour Jose
Un joli clich� de ces superbes arcades bien d閏or閑s avec la pr閟ence de visiteurs qui ajoue de l'animation � l'image.
Je te souhaite un bon dimanche.

Ol� Jos�!
N鉶 conhe鏾 este museu mas deve valer bem a pena!O pov est� muito bom, gosto muito do efeito dos arcos ao longo do corredor e das colunas com as pinturas.As pessoas l� ao fundo tamb閙 ficaram muito bem, especialmente a mi鷇a da camisola rosa, que parece estar a admirar o tecto.Talvez um pouco mais de nitidez n鉶 fosse m� ideia.
