The Sun _is_the_best_artist Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hi, my friends!
Two days before, in the evening I came into my balkony and I had been seeing this picture. The church in the sunset lights.
That is the second shot, here is more bright colours.
I hope you'll like it...
Sinserly yours,
S.

Hola Serghei Preciosa foto con unos colores expectaculares muy vivos e intensos!
Un saludo!

Yes, the light is amazing here, and I like the overall darkness of the image, which only makes the impact of the sunlit areas even stronger.
The church is a bit tilted to the right, but that could be easily sorted by a slight rotation in photoshop.
Other than that, I think this is excellent. Good work Serghei.

Cheers,
Ben

Hello Serghei,
The lovely warm evening light really makes this fine image!
The church stands out well, appearing in an almost 3D image...
Well composed presentation, pin sharp details!

Hi Serghei,

you are right, great colors given by the sun, but there should also be a photo artist like you to see so beautiful moments!

Hi Serg,
What for a fantastic daily view you can have from your balkony... Lucky guy! The sun helps but the photographer makes the best image of it!
Bravo!
Greetings from Recife-Brazil,
Nivaldo

Hello Serghei

If anything I like this portrait format better. Still the wonderful warm sun on the beautiful church. Perhaps a slight tilt though, to the left? Good detail in the sky too. TFS

А ты теперь ее на рассвете щелкни. И дай склейку двух. Интересно получится.

hello Serghei
this is so good that it almost appears unreal. Glorious colour and strong architectural lines make for an unusual and attractive image.

adores (15507) 2007-07-21 18:32

Hi Serghei!
I see you have posted a different one of the same church. Colours are also great here. To be honest, don't know which one I prefer bt colours here are really good!

jonathan_hart (22576) 2007-07-22 2:23

i wonder how it looks with a more classic light, and how you managed PP, but the result is amazing
interesting place
good angle
great colours and light
good framing, better than the previous one
well done

Hi, Serghei!
I like your shot: it is bright and expressive. The colours are splendid. Pity the church is "falling" at one side.

Thank you for sharing.
Katya.

Hello Serghei, you have captured some wonderful light here. I think many people can envy you to have such a fantastic view from the window. Beautiful sky behind too. Well done. Lucie

presidente (1115) 2007-09-11 10:32

Amazing photo with fantastic light and color.
The sky is terrific.
IMO the orizon is a little bit turn on the left but you can turn it easily with CS2.

Super Farben, hast du sie nachbehandelt?
Viele Grüsse Wolfgang

Stepan (27175) 2008-09-01 23:07

Simply amazing !!!
This golden caress, on that red church, is really beautiful. You managed the light perfectly (but not the tilt) and you have a striking compo. Ahhh, that light tilt !!!!
Stéphane

grantlp (2104) 2008-09-08 6:43

Hi Serghei,
This is a very attractive image of this old church, which is enhanced by the wonderful warm lighting. The colours of the church have been strengthened by the light. Well done.
Cheers Grant

Hi Serghei,
I think the colours in this photo are better than the other pict from this location, showing this great architecture. the combination of red and grey in the building and sky work well together.
Regards,
Jonathan

Hello Serghei,
The contrasts between light and shade and between the red, the light colours and the dark make this picture very beautiful. Also you captured the interesting architecture very well.

Excellent use of natural light at sunset. So beautiful!

Wandering_Dan (3221) 2008-12-28 10:32

Privet, Serghei -

A stunning moment well captured! Great combination of strong light and stronger shadows, and powerful colors. And nicely minimalistic, too.

Best,
Dan

ilghiz (470) 2009-01-07 15:42

The towers look so warm and cosy!
Reminds of honey and amber.
I'd add a white frame
(it's just cuz I am learning to add good frames).

Не знаю почему, напоминает мед и янтарь.
Таким теплом веет и уютом!
Я б добавил белую рамку
(просто сейчас на рамкох помешался малость :)

denisn72 (6979) 2009-01-10 5:18

Hello Serghei
What a really nice church! Its style and architecture are stunning. The warm light of the sun creates an awesome atmosphere. Excellent contrasts and very good details. The point of view is very interesting too. Good work!
Best regards
Denis!

pawelx (473) 2009-01-29 3:56

Amazing colours! Indeed your title sums it up best. Well spotted and executed.

Vames (4356) 2009-01-31 5:41

Hi Serghey! Nice shot. Sun points out in the best way the beatiful russian architecture

ryno (4612) 2009-02-14 19:17

Oh Wow Serghei, your timing was perfect here, and so is the light. You let the sun do all the work for you - and it worked very well. the light really brings out the best of this old steeple and church, and the rsult is a romantic, somewhat mysterious image. Good work!
Regards,
Ryno

jimkilgallon (0) 2009-02-17 13:54

Excellent Serghei
The light is beautiful and i love the very saturated warm colours. Nice perspective, slight tilt but not distracting. Superb cloud formations in the bg.

Jim
