St. Michael's Photo

Photographer’s Note

St. Michael's Cathedral in Kiev, part of the monastery of the same name. It was demolished by Soviet authorities in the 1930s, and replaced with administrative buildings. It was restored after Ukraine gained its independence in 1991.

I needed a wider lens obviously, but this was the best I could do with my back against a wall. I didn't have my SLR with me. It's a tight squeeze, and I know I cut off one of the crosses on the top, but you can definitely see the color and beauty of the church regardless.

It's an amazing cathedra! And picture shows the whole beauty of this building. I wish I was there one time.

Rob,
You are correct, the colors are great and you captured them well. The man in front of the church add nice perspective to its size. The lighting and sharpness are fine with good DOF and detail.
TFS,
Asa
