Photographer's Note
The Zica Monastery, built in the early 13th century, is near Kraljevo at the entrance to the Ibar Gorge in central Serbia. It was the first seat of the Serbian Archbishopric.
The monastery was founded by King Stefan Prvovencani, the First-Crowned, and built in the early 13th century and received St. Sava as the first Patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church in 1219.
The most complete renovations were completed during the rein of King Milutin (1282-1321).
Zica is built according to the Raska school in the Romanesuque style. The monastery was originally painted red in the tradition of the Mount Athos monasteries.
Picture I have done early in the morning 7 a.m when was not too much light. Due some problems with the sensor, the sky did had a strange color so I have had to process a little bit the colors.

Hello Cosmin,
Nice monastery in Serbia, the red brickwork between the green tree care for a pleasant image for look at.
Sharpness and clarity are perfect.
Also a nice perspective and depth image.
Very well done, TFS.
Have a nice Sunday,

Hi Cosmin,
such a striking contrast - red and blue, with a splash of white and green. The spring mood shows perfectly here. Nice to see you enjoying some sunny days. Lovely picture.
Cheers
Marina
