I'm going to make this my Pic of the Day. As a photograph it is magnificent but above all, we in "the West" and indeed people all round the world, need to see and know more of this magnificent, vast and very beautiful country and its people - give us more Nikolay! If anyone is in any doubt about Russia, it's only necessary to listen to the wonderful music that has come from there. All doubt dispelled instantly. The politicians are responsible for some appalling mistruths about that country.
Yes. Monochrome is right for architecture, however colourful the subject. Great composition here and astounding detail: the more you look, the more you see. Magnificent building, magnificent photograpy.
I love St. Basil's. this is a really well-framed shot! I would like just a touch lighter in the top of the background, to highlight the building itself. Nice work!
Artist Reply: Thank you, Angel, for your constructive feedback. You are probably right about highlighting. However, I do think the mood will go.
