Witaj Nika!
Ta odslona kosiola w Kodniu jeszcze lepsza niz poprzednia, bowiem mamy tu ladniejsze swiatlo, a tym samym zywsze jasniejsze kolory. Kadr rzadkiej urody.
Serdecznosci!

Hi Nika.
A very lovely photo of this expansive scene with the sunlight on the buildings and church. I like the shadowy foreground, and clouds that look as though they might bring rain. You composed the picture well to include the still-bare tree and the little wooden bridge. Nice work from a good scan.
Regards,
Andrew

Helolo Nika,
A fine composition, almost a painting, of the church presented from a wider point of view which allowed yo uto created a wonderful landscape photo as well. Fine play of light and shadows.

npecanhuk (14600) 2009-08-29 3:53

Hi Nika!
Same place of one of your recent pictures, right?! Yes, but a slightly different pov and composition! Anyway, I really like it too! The pov was again very well chosen and the composition with the lonely tree, the pathway and the bridge is very pleasant, attractive and beautiful! Level of sharpness is suitable to this image! Exposure is very good! Colors are wonderful!
TFS - congratulations!
Best regards,
Neyvan

Witaj, Nika,
Fine spring shot, interesting details, good for scanned photo. Is it Western Bug so small river? I remember South Bug in Ukraine.
Pozdrawiam!

Hi Nika,

great catch of a beautiful site. I like a lot the composition, the imponent building shares well the image with the other elements such as the tree and the small bridge. Nicely done!
Regards,
Carlos

AKITA (5549) 2009-09-22 8:29

dear Nika,
a very fine and settled feeling is excellent,
shining church building looks a little mysterious beyond fore dark tree and bridge on the water...this contrast makes unusual effect.
the sky is so peaceful, and the cloud is beautiful,
your eyes and heart surely met a touching vision there.
thank you,
Akihisa

maxmitzu (451) 2009-09-22 12:37

Vasa (6274) 2009-09-24 7:57

mafegan (4465) 2009-09-27 15:42

Hello Nika
A nice composition full of details - most of features are well positioned to obey the rule of thirds. I personally would have preferred a black frame. Tfs, Marlene

This river apparently at the time this picture was taken seems a little empty. At this place it seems narrow and the tree is located in a very tiny island. However this narrow rivers ever overflow.The church is in great grandeur. Though the main tower I think all the surrounding construction must be for teaching purposes like a college. The whole atmosphere of this picture is of a pure countyside. Places wherever one`s may explore this delightful landscape. My sincere regards. Domingos

Waylim (11147) 2009-10-19 9:51

Hello Nika,
So many beautiful images in your gallery, don't even know which to pick.
This one is very beautifully composed, with the tree a little off to one side the little bridge on the other side and the main subject bathes in beautiful light. Very nice.

dexy (160) 2009-11-06 8:15

Zdravo.
Vrlo dobra kompozicija, arhitektura i boje.Svidja mi se mostic i drvo na ostrvu u vodi.
Dexy.

danyy (69393) 2009-11-22 0:05

Bonjour Nika,
l'encadrement bleu n'est pas des plus esthétiques, il donne un peu une mauvaise coloration au contenu qui pourtant a été photographié avec une expo parfaite.
My best regards.
Daniel.
