Hello Bartosz ,
This picture is better than the other one . But why do you need so much saturation ? It could be very good with pretty natural colors . The landscape , the architecture , and the framing are fantastic .

Hello Bartosz.
You have presented this in a way that shows how enormous the church is; what a magnificent piece of architecture! The houses look tiny by comparison. I like the composition, which relies on simplicity to convey the scale of the church. I agree with Denis that it is still a little too saturated, and maybe a bit too much blue in the colour balance. Everything else is fine.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Bartosz, even though your gallery is still small, it is excellent. I love the deep, rich colours in this one. The light is good and brings out the best in this impressive building. Good work!
Regards,
Ryno
