Hello Sergiy,
nice the view as the presentation of the biggest Buddhist temple in Europe.I think that most impressive and traditional is the gate of the temple.

Have a good day,danos

A very good POV where you have included both the portico and the impressive temple, both parts are well positioned in the picture. Soft and pleasant colours and an interesting note!

Hello Sergiy,
this is a very well composed picture where the architecture is presented in a skillfully balanced way. It must have been very difficult to handle the many perspectives and the diverse exposures that different elements of the composition demanded. Even though the white was a great challenge, you've managed to do justice to the interesting architecture by retaining all the architectural details and colours both on the temple and the gate. A great study, congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a good night,
Ourania

Hello Sergiy.
Superb composition of great beauty and very different from one another, had not thought to see the picture before reading the note, its location would be in Russia.
Superb sharpness and lighting, which allows us to take pleasure in the many details showing the composition.
A splendid job with a lovely color.
Have a nice day.
Best regards.
Luis.
