About Jvari Monastery you can read here.
It was not very good weather, it was strong fog on the hill, so the monastery is not so clear as can be.

Hi Natalia - a really nice composition and great colour toning too - both the contrasts and the more subtle areas of this shot work really well - very nice work. I hope Moscow is getting a little warmer!

best wishes Kev

Hi Natalia, I like the fact that because of the fog the monastery is not as clear as it could be, it gives the shot a cool atmosphere, probably more than if it would have been clear. I also like a lot the composition, with the little trees at the bottom. I think that the frame is a bit too heavy at the top and bottom, maybe you should keep the black all the same size as on the sides. Just an idea, though, the shot is great.
Best wishes

hi natalia,
well, i actually think the unclearness of the monastery and the landscape adds to the quality of the picture. it is a special picture of a special place. (i was there too, in summer, and loved it!). well done! (did you do anything special to get this effect?)

Hi Natalia
A beautiful photo well composed and delightfully presented.
I just love the effect you give your photos.
The depth across to the mountains in the background is stunning.
The atmosphere created is so special.
Thanks
Regards
Peter

I like those two black trees, exactly opposite to the church - makes a good composition. I think the fog is helping you here - no problem that there's little contrast on the church. I'd only say that there seems to be a sparse range of brightnesses here - same problem as the one with the bread. I'd be interested to see an unprocessed original - maybe you'd put it in the workshop?

Hi Natalia
I like the original style of the pictures in your gallery. Nice creativity here and good framing. The fog on the hill gives good atmosphere, and I think it enhances the picture. Like the colour cast too. Well done.

Serwus Natalia !
This is splendid panorama so close to my imagination of this beautiful land. Once again, very interesting colorsetting, nice use of the trees in fg and well positioned monastery in the frame. Background's range is a nice, third layer. Very well done.
Best wishes,
Mat

super composition and nice color tone. Interesting photo from a part of the world I find intriguing.
