[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Christ the Savior is the largest and most expensive Cathedral in Moscow, and it has become an unmistakable part of the city’s skyline. Originally built in the 19th century, the cathedral was a monument to Russia's victory over Napoleon. Stalin razed it, but was reconstructed in 1994. The cathedral rises above the Moscow River and is connected to the other side of the river by an impressive bridge (also shown in the picture).

Very good composition and POV. The sky is a bit overexposed but the photo is good in general. Well done.

I think this detail is very nice, the golden color against the whites is very good
