Hi Linas,

Hi Linas,
it's an effective shot of this beautiful and historic architecture. Two things please me a lot: the perspective and the excellent exposure management. The sky is not overexposured and the foreground is clear and crispy. Very good work!
Regards,
Carlos

Hi Linas,
I like the way you composed this -- with nice coloring and details from the columns to the gate as well as the background.
Regards,
Michael
