Cretulescu church of Bucharest Photo

Photographer’s Note

Cretulescu Church (Biserica Cretulescu) in the city of Bucharest (Bucuresti), Calea Victoriei. It was commisioned in 1722 by the boyar Iordache Cretulescu and his wife Safta, a daughter of prince Constantin Brancoveanu. The church is built in the style created by Constantin Brancoveanu, a seventeenth century ruler of Wallachia, who commisioned numerous buildings during his reign and set out to create a distinctive national genre of architecture. The church suffered damage during the 1989 revolution but was recently restored. The frescoes in the porch are especially beautiful. Inside there still can be seen fragments of the late nineteen century frescoes (1859-1860) done by Gheorghe Tattarescu, a great Romanian painter.

Hello Mikolaj,

Very nice contrast of colours and architecture. The image is very pretty with its warm tones and excellent details. Your perspective is also effective to show a good dimensional view of this old church. Nice work Mikolaj :-)

Hello Mikolaj,

Good angle on this - from my point of view - original church!
Colours and details are well reproduced, and the lady in blue offers striking colour contrast...
The composition has interesting, dynamic lines!

Greetings,

Witaj Mikolaj!
Another beautiful architecture picture with perfect sharpness, exposure, natural colors, depth of field, pov and composition! Seeing it sideways was a quite good idea and including those people and that dog was also very important for this photograph!
TFS - congratulations!
Best regards,
Neyvan

Witaj, Typowy rumuński monastyr. Fajny kadr, ładne kolory. Szkoda, ze nie mam zdjęć z czasów, gdy tam byłam, przed rewolucją i trzęsieniem ziemi.

Pozdrawiam

Hello Mikolaj,
The church is certainly interesting, but it's the woman in blue that immediately attracts my attention. The man with the dog is another good addition to the scene.
Very good light and colours.
Regards,
Gert

Cze Mikolaj!
Faktem jest, ze taki facet z psem dobrze urozmaica zdjecie architektury. Kolorki super.
Pozdro!

josepmarin (34243) 2009-07-04 11:31

Witaj, Mikolaj,
This one is a good photo of architecture. The low POV and the low-angle shot create a nice sensation of perspective of the church towards the blue sky.
The composition is harmonic and balanced well, and you have managed perfectly the strong light.
Excellent photo.
Friendly regards,
Josep

Witaj Mikolaju!
Znaw zagnalo Cie do Rumunii. Sadzac po zdjeciu, nie masz czego zalowac. Podoba mi sie kontrast, ktory daje kobieta w niebieskim fartuchu.
Serdecznosci!

Czolem Mikolaj!
Swietny kadr, swietny, bo zwyczajnie prosty. Wspaniale mocne swiatlo. Wyrazista kolorystyka. Piekna zwyczajna codzienna scena przed wiekowa cerkwia.
Pozdrawiam.
