Incredible shot Vivek! Everything is so perfectly balanced, the composition is great, the exposure perfect and the colours wonderful! The only thing that bothers me a little bit is that "half" man on the lower left part of the picture, bat that's a small detail! Congratulations!
Best regards,
Hercules

the colors are gorgeous indeed. the only surplus is the lady in the frame.. whether more people or none would be cool

Hi Vivek,
I think this is your best photograph yet of this magnificent building.
The framing is superb with the buildings on either side of the cathedral creating a good balance to the composition.
Nice work.

BRAVO!!!

Great view of this monument, Vivek! A perfect, symmetric, equilibrated picture, and colours are gorgeus.

Well done to post first some details and at the end the whole buildind group.

So, the next shot will be even wider?:)) Perfect symmetry again (would be even better if you would crop a pair of pixels on the right) and a very nice light on the Smolny. Man, I have to go to SPb!!!

Cheers
Alexander

Amazing architecture, captured sharply and vividly here. Bravo.

Hi Vivek,
amazing colours and wonderful central composition. You've managed the exposition very well. I don't know about the others, but I'd leave some more ground to amplify the feeling of perspective.
Have a nice day,
Tomi

Hi Vivek,

a good followup to last post. You could have calld this "blu world". Such great colors.What about a lower and a bit wider perspective? You could have gotten more of the lady in the frame.

Hello Vivek,
I am happy to come back on TE and seeing photos like this one.
Very beautiful shot. I enjoy colors and sharpness. Excellent framing. It is only pity the lady is not in the frame. Nevertheless, I like this photo.
Well done.
Best regards,
Fabrice

Hi Vivek!
A great final of your 3 photo Smolny serie.
Wonderful blue colors and a sky I miss in Germany since two weeks.I like your symetric composition verry much and the "half "person is a nice foreground detail.
Regards,Leo

Hi Vivek.

Maybe it's a little bit classica shot but I like it. The colours are excellent and the only thing I dislike is, as Hercules (sorry "Cretense") said the half woman.

Anyway, an excellent picture!

Rgs, Oscar

I had missed out on this Vivek, I am glad I had to come back. This is probably the end of your revealing act in this series and the end result is totally satisfying. Love the symmetries and the different tones of blue in this image.
Best Wishes
