[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Sameba Cathedral is the symbol of the unification of the Georgian nation and the Orthodox Church. It is testimony of the stand of the Georgian nation on the way of Christ and proof of the regret for their sins.
It is symbolical that the church is located in Avlabari (Tbilisi Region,) densely populated by religious and ethnic minorities.
There is a big recently renovated complex with fantastic view to the river and old city.

Natalia,
good POV and nice choice of color.The black frame makes this stand out.Thanks for sharing - Vikram

I like the choice of tone on this. Plus you've taken it at the right time of day in order to bring the building alive with shadows. Finally the human figure is a nice touch

fantastic photo. nice color tone

Sharpness and unusual colour!I like the man there,too. It give the information about the size of the bilding when compare between them.
Regards,

When I first visited your gallery I was impressed but something went wrong somehow that my comments did not register.

I was particularly impressed by this photo, maybe because of my profession but also because I find it with very good tonal values and composition. It is a super architectural shot. It reminds me of the drawings we did when we were in college. The effect of lights and shadows are very beautiful. Nicely done Natalia.

Very nice colors and a beautiful architectural shot indeed!

This is a terrific architectural photo. The composition is flawless and color tone is nice. This is going into may favorites.

J'adore ce type de photos ou l'espace est delimité par des lignes geometriques; quel talent!! une gallery impressionnante!

Здравствуйте Наталия,
this is really a great capture of archaic architecture. It's a good composition with the column to the left and the tower seen through the arch. Good contrast and sharpness.
In my opinion the picture would be better in brown or sepia tones; the green tone is a little bit disturbing. Спасибо,
Роланд

wow! the best photo of this church I've seen so far. damn, how good your idea was! I've been there and didn't notice such great angle =] seems for me I'll haveto go back :)
Georgia is gorgeous!
