New Church in Kuban Land Photo

Photographer’s Note

This Russian Orthodox church is seen from any point of big Cossack settlement of Yurovka. The village is situated at the delta of the Kuban River, where the plain of Taman Peninsula turns into foothills of Caucasus Mountains. There, as everywhere in Russia, many new churches have been built recently. Each big village, which is called “stanitsa” there or “selo” in the rest of Russia, has at least one church now, as it was before the revolution of 1917. A smaller village (hamlet, “khutor” or “derevnya” in Russian) did not have a church typically, but now it often does.

GPS coordinates: 45.105 Lat, 37.425 Long

This shot of Russian newly build church has much in common with another my shot of a new church in Ukraine.

Hello Sergiy,
I like the severity of this photo, just the buildings, a uniform blue sky and the fence. And beautiful light.
Well done.
Regards,
Paul

Hi Sergiy!
Great shot for this excellent shot of this very nice church.
Colors and sharpness are great and I like the composition with this corner at the bottom a bit out of the center.

Dobro jutro.
Lepa crkva.
Dobra fotografija, dobre boje i ostrina snimka.
Svidjaju mi se boje kojima je obojena crkva.
Cuvajmo svoju kulturu, Paja.

Hi Sergiy,
The image has a great brightness and is very clean, I like how it offers us the purity of lines and the elegance of this architecture, under a splendid light and with a few perfectly saturated colors.
This one is an excellent photo of architecture, you have chosen a good framing that gives a nice perspective to this wonderful church.
A beautiful work.
Friendly regards,
Josep

Hello Sergiy,

Effective tight framing on this splendid church with the bright colors, I like much luminosity and the clearness of the image which give much smoothness to this photograph. Beautiful and interesting photograph just like your note, thank you Sergiy.

With all my friendships and a very good evening,

Hello Sergiy,
I find interesting for the maintenance of the traditions that initiatives are taken to build such religious monuments. Your point of view and framing, the light, the sky, all are divine and are appropriate well on such a subject. Excellent clearness and general quality of the photograph. Congratulations.
Have a nice day.
Cordially
