That really is a stunning sky Vivek, and it makes a fine backdrop to the golden dome of the church.
I think there's a little too much of the dark tree and shadowy area at the bottom of the frame, but even so Your shot has a lot of impact and I like it a lot.
Cheers,
Ben

Hi Vivek,
Beautifully painted sky and a luminous top of the church. The shot reminds me of "Sunset In Delhi". I observe the pink has such a wonderful effect on this panorama that a beautiful high overcast gets unnoticed. This is the contrast I like the most.
Best Regards,
Rajeev

The purple and pink sky is fantastic. I like how you were still able to expose the church tower without it being too dark. Good work.

Hey Vivek! What’s going on with you!!

You’re so good with architectural photo! I really like what you did with this church and the timing you’ve choose to shoot it! Very impactful and seductive.

I think it was a good thing to shoot it without people, contrary to what Shailendra has mentionned, because often, people doesn’t fit with the atmosphere of the photo, they distract from the main subject and they make the photo aging rapidly because of clothes fashion.

When we shoot people, we don’t necessarely include architecture, so why always include people in other type of photography!!! I hate those rules that amateurs follow blindly, like never use centered subject and so on. Photography is about feelings and personal vision and following rules in an orthodox way would results in homogeneisation of photography...

So keep on shooting the way you like and forget about those meaningless comments. And by the way, what a person in your picture would have add, other than parasite element...

I like it the way it is!

Hi Vivek,

this is quite nice. Like Shail, I prefer human presence but somethimes these sorts of shots come out really nice. The sky looks amazing, the colors are strong and its well framed.

Privet Vivek,
This dome rising against the setting sun has the rather unusual here russian exotism at its base, you placed it very well in the frame, I like it.
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Hi Vivek
A beautiful capture of this luminous pink sky. The tones and colours blend well and the impact is good. I like the way you have placed the tower to the left which enhances the look and feel of the shot. Nice PoV too. Well done.
