hi Deniz,
You have captured a truly beautiful scene here, and the almost 3D effect of the statue in the foreground is really cool. The details and colours of the walls and ceiling are remarkable, this is a wonderful cpature.
All the best
Noel

Good interior photo. Nice composition and colours. I really admire the noise control (I would have shot with 1/50 and 800 ISO, though).

Hello, excellent perspective in your image. The wealth of the Czars is mind boggling. The physical beauty of the museum is spectacular as we can see in your photo.
TFS,

Hi Deniz,
I am part of the moderation team and the note accompanying this photo is problematic. Indeed, it fully comes from the Hermitage Museum website... and that's it!
On this point, TE's Terms of Services are clear: It is not permitted to copy and paste sections of text off from other sites. If you wish to refer to information on other sites you must provide a link to that site instead.
I'm sure you have many things to tell about your visit there. So I suggest you to write a text more consistent with the objectives of TE in the coming days, otherwise your picture will be deleted.
Thank you in advance,
Dominique

Selam-ün aleyküm Deniz Bey kardeşim,
Sen yaşıyon mu ???
Hermitage'den güzel bir kare. Fotoğraf olarak güzel güzel olmasına da, tavan ve duvarlardaki yoğun dekorasyonlar, heykellerin anasını belliyor !
Tebrikler
Selam ve sevgiler

Hi Deniz
great to see you back again :)
I really enjoy viewing your work here.
too bad you had to use such a high ISO rating, but what makes the scene work so well is the angled composition with the colorful ceiling, and all the geometry.
cool shot!
cheers

Merhaba Deniz,

I was looking at your rich collection of photos, got ensnared by this magnificent image from the Hermitage. As Heisenberg once said, "Never underestimate how much pleasure it gives a man to see what he already knows." My wife and I traipsed along the endless corridors of the Hermitage, the last time in late June of 2010, and remember this particular vantage point well. She said, "You took a photo of the same spot." I did take the same scene, but Mine is nowhere as good. But this has inspired me to upload four separate angles of Hermitage's only Michelangelo statue.

Selam ve saygilarimla,

Bülent
