Hi Mikolaj,
Great shot from Warsaw with spectacular and interesting composition. I like the impressive foreground and the beautiful church in the background. Excellent lights and clarity. Have a nice day!

Hello Mikolaj,
The gaunt outline of the statue of the soldier makes an interesting and poignant frame for this beautiful church. The scene is well composed and has a good balance to it. The colours are pleasing and bright. Very good sharpness from front to back.

Hello Mikolaj,
The idea is brilliant, the association of this foreground moving with the church is very attractive. The depth, the light, the colors are perfect. Congratulations.
Have a nice day
Cordially

Hi Mikolaj,

Including that statue was very wise, because now we have two strong elements to focus on. I like your framing with the soldier in a high position against the church...works very good....good eye in seeing this.

Regards,

Henk

Hello Mikolaj,

This composition is a very good and very original idea. The FG with the sculptut give a great depht to the image. Excellent framing too and good managment of light. Pleasant play of shade.
Have a good evening,
Roger

Serwus Mikolaj!
Ekstra pomysl, zakrecona kompozycyjka. Swietna glebia. Poza tym kolory, swiatlo, w sam raz.
Siema!

AKITA (5071) 2009-06-01 17:50

dear Mikolaj Kawa,
a very interesting composition and your title,
maybe those suggest your patriotic spirit and love to your land.
but this contrast between shining church and severe soldier also means hard history of your country.
anyway the space you set in this picture is nice and metaphorical,
thank you,
Akihisa

bakes888 (18055) 2009-06-02 1:46

Hi Mikolaj. Nice capture. I love the way you have composed with the soldier entering the scene, good depth. Wonderful colours and good DOF too. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

LeeLoo (4890) 2009-06-02 2:48

Dear Mikolaj Kawa!
Wonderful church.
Amazing soldier.
Original composition.
Very good point of view.
Nice colors.
TFS!

Jonathan_Tree (4052) 2009-06-02 12:19

Witaj Mikolaju!
To sie nazywa POV. Bardzo dobra fotografia. Niezle podszedles pod kosciol, a moze raczej pod pomnik przed kosciolem. Podoba mi sie pusty, czysty i klarowny plac. Dobra ostrosc, bardzo dobrze wykontrastowana fotografia.
Serdecznosci!

adores (15287) 2009-06-03 16:23

Hi Mikolaj!
Surely a different way to show the church! I like the statue in foreground and the church in background. Well framed with good light and colours!

Bruno40 (6440) 2009-06-05 23:28

Hi Mikolaj,
