Church of St. Nicholas in Klenniky Photo

Photographer’s Note

Very nice church of St. Nicholas in Moscow baroque style is squashed nowadays between buildings at the beginning of Maroseyka street, in the ancient district of Moscow city called Kitai-Gorod .

I prepared some interesting historical information about this church, but this time I will not include the long story in my note here. Here I wanted to show you how hard to take good picture on small streets of big cities, where the oject squashed between another buildings, where a lot of people, wires and cars... I have found a good moment when it was not cars and few people.. but it were so many wires there.... It is better to show you original photo... and I am going to upload it to my workshop for your considaration about my work here in Photoshop...

If you would like to read interesting history about this church, you are welcome on my website:

Bonjour Arthur,
et bien, comme à l'habitude, une photo aux lumières bien gérées , très claire, elle est nette et bien cadrée.
Très peu de défaut de perspective, souvent gênants.
J'aime ces rouges et ce bleu qui se marient bien avec des blancs très purs et cette touche de vert à droite.
J'insiste sur le cadrage soigné.
Best regards from Belgium.
Daniel.

Hi Arthur!
You were lucky to have no traffic and parking cars for this good shot.This time the nice church is in an urban landscape.
Excellent POV and good diagonal,good light,contrast and bright colors.

Hi Arthur, this photo does so deserve to be on TE... It is historical and very interesting. But what excellent PP work you did to get rid of the wires etc. And thank you, I have read your info off your website. What a long and interesting history this church has had.
Great shot, good sharpness and colours, and especially how you got rid of all the extra bits!! Well done my friend,
Janice

Privet, Arthur
It was really interesting to see two images to compare them, you did a very good job in Photoshop. Interesting piece of architecture, great sharpness and details, bright colors and point of view. I really like it.
With best regards

Hello Arthur, you did a fantastic job on cloning out those lines and lens distortion.

This makes a very nice image of this street now with a good side pov.

Very sharp and nice colours.

It's always a pleasure to look at your work.

Take care, Yan :)
