Hi Sergiy,
Nice perspective of this cathedral. I like the icy colours and sharpness as well. A description about this structure would be nice.
Thanks for sharing!

Hi Sergiy,
It is a very nice shot of a beautiful piece of architecture.
I like that it is so clean without and unnecessary street elements.
The cars on the left are useful to show the scale, the size of the cathedral.
Apparently it is possible to make beautiful photos with those long Tamron zooms.
