Photographer’s Note
Dupa cel de-al doilea razboi mondial, localitatea Peri a fost anexata de URSS, astazi fiind in componenta Ucrainei. Se invecineaza cu localitatile Apsa de Jos la Est, Stramba la Nord si Tarasul la Vest. Spre Miazazi este marginita de raul Tisa, la mica distanta de Sapanta. Existenta Manastirii Peri a fost curmata in anul 1703, pe vremea rascoalei antihabsburgice conduse de Francisc Rakoczi al II-lea. Episcopul si calugarii au fost alungati, teritoriile si bunurile lor au fost confiscate de regimul maghiar, cladirile anexe au fost distruse, biserica a fost arsa din temelii iar zidurile ramase in picioare au fost daramate. Renascand din cenusa, la Sapanta, in nord-vestul Romaniei s-a ivit cea mai inalta biserica de lemn din Europa, atingand 75 metri de la pamant spre cer. Crucea din varful turlei are 7,50 metri inaltime si o greutate de 430 kg. Cele patru cruci ale bisericii sunt poleite cu 4,30 kg de aur.
Manastirea de maici va fi de departe cea mai frumoasa din tot Maramuresul istoric. Este amplasata intr-un frumos parc dendrologic, intr-o padure multiseculara. Biserica, asezata pe un soclu de piatra, este construita in stil maramuresean, din lemn masiv de stejar, cu trei niveluri si, sus, cu un paraclis. Inca de pe acum biserica este un superb monument de arhitectura, iar prin amintirea de peste Tisa poate fi considerata si monument istoric.

Hi Catalin!
I think artistically your shot is pretty poor. I like neither the composition nor the POV. The building on the left intrudes on the photo instead of adding to it. You talk about the large cross on top and we can barely see it as it is both partially cropped as well as shot from a very poor angle. Of course, the power lines are a problem too.
I would've loved to see this shot with lots of sky above it and if possible not a white overexposed sky. I think that spearlike part of the roof would look great pointing sharply toward a bright blue sky. I just saw the WS and it's much better than the original shot.
As a reporting shot it's fine, the monastery building is very interesting, but not much more.
Better luck next time.
