Hello Kevin,
You have balanced the composition a bit unusually in order to include the full reflections of the church. I am not quite convinced that I agree, but I see the point although it makes the photo rather topheavy. In any case the colors and light are good, the church is very attractive and the Perast area is one of the most beautiful spots in Montenegro.
Kind regards,
Gert

Bonjour Kevin,

IL y a beaucoup d'espace entre ta lentille et la petite ile, ce qui donne beaucoup de profondeur à la composition. J'aurais probablement visé un petit peu plus haut.

Bon dimanche

Serge

Hi Kevin
This is great that you have found an attractive eye puller into the scene as the vivid church trigggers our senses so effectively. Excellent compo in great clarity and tones with some sparkles on the calm dark water to add the overall visual impact of this grand rarely seen image. The rich backgraound creates a stunning contrast. Nice work Kevin, and thks for sharing.
Kind regards
