Hi Vivek, the photo is quite nice. Fantstic colors, pretty good sharpness, very good exposure. The composition is not overtly original (Ive seen more creative ones in your gallery), but its a good architectural photograph that presents us with a clear viw of this church and its beautiful architecture.

J'aime beaucoup ces dômes d'église dorés. J'admire toujours le soin que les russes portent à leurs édifices religieux, toujours bien peints et restaurés.

Ici, blancs, bleus et dorés se cotoient sous de belles lumières et un ciel tout aussi bleu.

Best regards.
Daniel.

I see they have done a fantastic job on restauration of this cathedral, when I was in SPb, it was completely covered. You've done quite a nice job as well, the symmetrical crop and the tight framing fits the intrinsic symmetry of the Baroque architecture.

Cheers
Alexander

Privet Vivek,
A nice trio of cupolas, I like this blue on them that looks even brighter than the sky blue, eclatant whites as well for a nice archi shot.
Have a nice sunday,
Jean-Yves

Excellent composition combining the blue of the sky with the blue of the church complemented by the golden details and white. The colors of th eheaven and gold. Like the smooth colors even if it was sun lit. Well mastered contrast. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Michael

This is a great photograph Vivek, and it's good to see a bit more of this magnificent building.
The colours of the cathedral look great against that bright blue sky.
Nice work.

Such shots always steal my heart Vicky. Man, Pablominto may envy you for this shot. He has a great gallery and I am a big fan of him.
Love the clarity, the exposure and the balance in your shot. The contours are visible and this blue is my favourite most colour.
To Vicky in Russia,
from India with Love,
Rajeev

Hello Vivek.
This church is absolutely stunning. You do it justice with your photo. I haven't seen a better balance between a sky and subject yet. Also I like your POV just capturing the towers. The lighting is perfect as well.
Very well done,
Chris
