Hello Sergiy!
Magnificent architectural details in this church!
Very attractive picture! Blue, "white", green and golden colors look superb in those walls and towers! The trees and the bluest sky added interest to the image! The drawing/painting in the lower fa鏰de looks so beautiful too!
Sharpness, exposure, pov, colors, vertical format and composition are all excellent!
TFS - congratulations!
Best regards,
Neyvan

Dobro vece.
Lepa stara katedrala, vrlo interesantna arhitektura za vreme kada je napravljena, mnogo lepo izgleda.
Jednostavne linije i boje docarale su njenu lepotu, vi ste je dobro prikazali tekstom i lepom fotografijom, svidja mi se vas rad, cestitam.
Prijatno vece, Paja.

Hi Sergiy

The baroque style is indeed over the top with this appealing church with architectural add-ons to appeal to the visual senses, all in light blue and whites in multiple angles.

thanks for sharing,
Ray

siolaw (38294) 2010-05-03 23:35

Hi Sergiy,
First, sorry for the confusion!
Good vertical framing of the wonderful church with nice soft colors. Exposure is well metered with no overexposition of the white parts. As sharp as it gets too.
Greetings
Laurent

Waylim (25436) 2010-05-03 23:35

Hi Sergiy,
The church in Ukrain really has a very cheerful and brighter colors, very spring like, and also a little fairly tale like. I'm not judging, but the green roof is kind of different than other roof mostly in brown or reddish. Anyway, just an observation. Your photographic quality is relaly wonderful, good sharpness and clarity, the blue wall, green roof, green tree, blue sky all seem to blend into each other, but the sharpness and clarity of your photo help distinquish it and makes it stand out more.

Thanks.
Way

Hello Sergiy,

Still an good example of the talent of your builders in Ukraine, this church is once more superb and comes to supplement your beautiful collection of photographs which one does not weary oneself to detail. Here the weather emphasizes well these colors which merge almost with the sky. The vegetation on the right allows a pleasant contrast. Thank you Sergiy.

With all my friendships and a very good evening,

Jean-Charles

The blue color of this church is amazing.
Very nice picture.
Friendly regards.Alin.

emka (158672) 2010-06-09 11:34

Hi Sergiy, With its blue colour and slender view - it is high and narrow, it reminds me Андрiївська церква in Kiev. Nice towers so close to each other. Beautiful composition with a lot of blue colour together with green domes. Superb shot.
I look at your photos with interest, also travelogues, as in September I plan to visit Ukraina - namely I go to Krym and Odessa. I am looking forward to see the places known from the literature - where I would look for traces of Pushkin and Mickiewicz.
Have a nice evening

fotka (9113) 2010-08-04 10:07

Hi Sergiy,
It's a typical Ukrainaian architecture beautifully renovated. The vertical composition is a great choice. Superb colors, light, sharpness and evidently a note.
Tfs and best regards,
Zbigniew

batalay (41261) 2010-08-15 4:21

Hello Sergiy,

I have been absent from TE lately while doing a spate of travels, but it is always a pleasure to come back and peruse through your rich gallery. And indeed you have some superb new shots. The Spaso-Prebrazhenskiy Sobor Cathedral depicted here is accentuated in its verticality by the clever vantage point you've chosen. The colors and resolution are first rate.

We are going to be visiting the Ukraine � specifically Yalta, Sevastopol and Odessa in approximately three weeks on the the Crystal Serenity.

Warm regards,

Bulent

paololg (31448) 2010-08-21 14:12

Ciao dear Sergiy,

Ciao, have a nice Sunday!
