[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was waiting for my son to finish his math tests and to take him back home, so I was walking around the block. The weather was awful - simultaneous rain and snow, about zero Celsius. No chance for a good photoghraph. And this shivering from cold wind crow seemed to be in harmony with overall atmosphere.
Behind the crow one can see Christ the Saviour Cathedral.

Cropped, adjusted levels and converted to duotone in Photoshop.

Very good composition Dmitry ! Its very beautiful, and the sephia mode gives a good touch for this !
Congratulations

True ! You managed to turn these difficult conditions in a great atmosphere for the picture. The ambiance is very moody,

I also like the contrasts :
- between the sharp shape of the background and the round soft shape of the church out of focus,
- between the dark street lamp and the white church roof.

Sepia is really appropriate to my mind for the nostalgic touch.

I like the DOF here and the colors. Very artistic shot: composition wise. This can be a great postcard.

Nice composition! Love the color of it and the contrast between the lamp and the building behind. Creative and artistics work!

Très belle photo. La mise en page est superbe. Les teintes sont chaudes.
Félicitations.

Very good composition and perfect handling of DOF.
It's a good idea to convert in duotone.
Congratulations.

Very good picture. Good work with the unfocused tower to enhance the first plan. However, the tower is there. A must ..

Nice picture Dmitry. The composition and colors are very good. The DOF is also very good still it has been simulated in PS :-). Would be better if the crow looks at camera... However well done!

The thing I like the most in this photo is the color treatment. Excelent warm tones. The composition is also good with a nice use of the DOF defining well the main subject, which this way do not compete with each other.

Good frame.

Very striking. Great composition and I like the darker foreground object w/ the lighter, similar in shape, cathedral behind it. Very well seen and presented.

Отличная композиция, сепия в тему.
Только крест немного засвечен - я бы попробовала вытянуть в Фотошопе.

Hola Dmitry. Una composición genial. Tan solo el encuadre que has logrado merece los dos puntos. Pero también me gusta mucho la atmósfera que has creado en la foto no se si es el propio lugar o los colores tenues que representan la foto, pero tiene algo especial. Muy buen trabajo.
