Russian architecture, a photo from Moscow, Center

Photographer's Note

This photo certainly doesn't have the "wouaw" factor like this one, but I wanted to show you a succession of russian buildings: church, museum and kremlin tower.

Hi Estelle
Hi Estelle
In my opinion this picture can be improved. Russian architecture deserves it. My 3 options:
Capturing the roof of the car away
Correction of the vertical distortion
Giving some more brightness to the buildings.
Hope you like it.

Hello Estelle,
to be honest, I prefer your (original) version. As a resident of Moscow, I sure know this place very well. I try to avoid commenting on photos of Moscow, but I sometimes make exceptions :) Let the lens distortion exist in this photo:) I think that the distortion helps show the pespective much better. Sometimes it's not necessary to make any adjustments. 3 in one! Very good composition. And I like the natural colours.
best wishes,
Elena

Bonjour Estelle, c’est vrai que la cathédrale SAINT BASILE qui est dans le
WS, ressemble plus à un caramel de toutes les couleurs qua un bâtiment religieux, mais coloré comme il est ça en jette, le spectacle est grandiose et être sur place se doit être du bonheur photographique, l’ont ne sait par quel bout photographier toute cette architecture qui vue par ton objectif est superbe,
une image magnifique de contraste et des couleurs naturelles, avec tous ces bulbes dorés bleu plus les teinte flashant et toute cette richesse apparente cette une architecture qui fait penser à un palais des milles et une nuits et un peu à "Disney world", bien amicalement

Bonjour Estelle,

Effectivement, ce n est pas "Wouaw" :-) mais tout de meme interessant. D un point de vue purement photographique, tu souffres un peu des possibilités de ton appareil dont le petit capteur peine a transmettre la grande dynamique de la scene et produit donc des nuages "explosés". Pas toujours facile a traiter ces eclairages, souvent le seul moyen est d utiliser un filtre degradé gris neutre pour diminuer la luminosité des hautes lumieres.
En dehors des bouts de voitures dans le coin, le cadrage est sympa avec un bon placement des clochers successifs.

Yves.

Hello Estelle
I personally prefer this photo over your wouaw photo. Although your night photo of St Basils seems postcard perfect that pov is commonly photographed. Whereas in this 3-in-1 photo you have created a more unusual composition. The colours are bright and sharp. I don't mind the vertical distortion but I do agree with cropping out the car roofs - a small criticism. TFS, Marlene

This is a very interesting study in Eastern Architecture. I really like how one can easily see the similarities to the the towers of western Europe, but at the same time the use of white is so much more prominent. Then the blue and orange of the church in the fore ground is very unlike architecture in the west. Very nice composition and framing.

Cheers!
